Therma-Floor Hits the Big Time on PBS' Hometime, Colonial Addition Series

Therma-Floor®

Overview: Hometime is a do-it-yourself home-improvement series on public television. Its aim is to provide the average homeowner with step-by-step advice for professional-looking results.

Hometime's fall program schedule included a six-part miniseries about building an addition to a colonial-style home in St. Paul, Minnesota. The addition received a new radiant heat system, so Hometime called on Maxxon to "Deliver the Heat" with Therma-Floor.

Therma-Floor was poured over the radiant heat system, with help from Maxxon's own Tim Parsons. PBS and Hometime only refer to products generically, but note the t-shirts, caps, and bags of Therma-Floor!

The program first aired nationally on November 14, 1998. This was Hometime Show #1222. Further information on Hometime is available on their website: www.hometime.com.
