Compatible with the maker's electric floor-warming mats, the Nuheat Cable System lets users extend radiant floor heating into intricate--even wet--spaces, including shower stalls, benches, saunas, and platforms.

The system is energy-efficient, generating just 12 watts per square foot, and can be controlled using the maker's programmable thermostats. 800-778-9276. www.nuheat.com.
