I personally like the flexibility and control of the thermostat.
Agritape heat mat review.
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.
The tape is rated 20 watts per square foot.
Agritape heat mats distribute heat evenly over the entire mat surface eliminating the cool spots typical of wire coil mats.
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 is a flexible and easy to use system that can be rolled up and easily stored when not in use.
This heat mat reaches higher temperatures than a standard heat mat allowing you to germinate seeds in cool areas and achieve warmer soil temperatures.
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.
It s not much more expensive so it s worth it to me.
It creates an extremely uniform precise temperature over the entire surface of the heating mat.
Thermostatic control gives uniform heating place them under growing trays or pots or bury under beds.
This mat is an excellent tool for small growers who start seeds in cool basements rather than greenhouses.
Proper soil temperature conditions for seed germination are a must the tape is rated 20 watts per square foot.
Agritape uses 2 copper conductors bonded to tough sealed mylar film.
It s kind of like a giant heating pad except for the ground.
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.
Either buy a heat mat with a thermostat or germinate in a smaller room.
Agritape heat mat systems are easily installed and removed so bench space can be used for multiple purposes.
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.
