It s kind of like a giant heating pad except for the ground.
Agritape heat mat review.
I personally like the flexibility and control of the thermostat.
Agritape precise heat mats are season extenders designed for the small commercial grower and the home gardener.
This mat is an excellent tool for small growers who start seeds in cool basements rather than greenhouses.
Either buy a heat mat with a thermostat or germinate in a smaller room.
Agritape uses 2 copper conductors bonded to tough sealed mylar film.
The heater consists of the agritape heating element 11 inches wide by either 4 or 8 feet long and a built in adjustable dial thermostat.
This complete system includes four agritape heating mats an adjustable dial thermostat ground screens and all appropriate cords and temperature sensors.
A durable economical alternative to more expensive models.
It s not much more expensive so it s worth it to me.
A gfci ground fault sensing plug shuts off the heater if there is any current leakage.
The tape is rated 20 watts per square foot.
The agritape heats up when it is electrified with standard house current 110 volts ac and generates heat up to 95f that is extremely uniform across the entire surface of the tape.
Proper soil temperature conditions for seed germination are a must the tape is rated 20 watts per square foot.
It is a flexible and easy to use system that can be rolled up and easily stored when not in use.
Agritape heat mat systems are easily installed and removed so bench space can be used for multiple purposes.
The mats are placed just under the floor and above a layer of insulation that ensures that the heat travels upwards instead of dissipating in all directions.
Not only that but since they re not blowing all over your home you don t have to worry about them stirring up a ton of dust and allergens.
