February 20, 2007 - CLEVELAND, OH, February 20, 2007 – When your feet are cold, you’re cold all over.
Just ask the office or factory workers who have to endure cold temperatures to do their job, such as lobby receptionists, machinists, retail clerks, drive-up window clerks, parking lot or tollbooth attendants…or anyone with cold feet at work. It is not just uncomfortable; it affects the worker’s productivity, too.
Until now, the only remedy for added warmth was a space heater or an extra pair of wool socks and a sweater. But, Winter Warmth LLC of Willoughby, OH has invented a perfect product to solve the cold feet problem: “The Heated Desk Mat.”
The product comes at a good time because companies looking to save money on energy and insurance liability costs are starting to ban portable heaters in the workplace because of the dangers of burns and fire hazards.
The low-voltage Heated Desk Mat consumes 1/3 the amount of electricity as space heaters, yet it creates a safer, more efficient and more comfortable source of radiant heat. The heated mat uses
72 watts of energy, which is about the same as a light bulb.
The Winter Warmth Desk Mat has a timer accessory that can be pre-set so the mat will turn on or off automatically, creating a warm working environment before the employee arrives at work and safely turning itself off when the employee leaves.
“Even if the heated mat is left on, the low voltage assures safety and low energy costs,” stated Dan Ruminski, president of Winter Warmth. Ruminski spent more than two years developing the low-voltage transformer necessary to make the product both safe and energy efficient.
The 18-inch by 30-inch vinyl and foam heated desk mat is ½ inch in thickness with beveled edges, which helps to reduce leg fatigue and back strain, while stimulating circulation. Where slip resistance is vital in standing applications, the mat also can be fitted with an anti-slip option of a 3M™ Safety Walk mineral-coated slip resistant surface.
The Winter Warmth Desk Mat is covered by a two-year warranty-replacement policy.
