Radiant Floor Warming |
||
| Generally, a residence or business will use a forced air system to heat rooms within the structure. This system operates by warming the air in a room, which then transfers heat to the objects it touches. This is very inefficient because the majority of the warm air will rise before it heats any objects, resulting in the top part of the room being warmer than the rest of the room. A radiant floor warming system is much more efficient in heating a room. A radiant floor warming system is installed directly under most floor coverings. The floor and objects are heated directly, rather than through the air. A radiant floor warming system provides uniform heat throughout a room and offers comfort at lower temperatures. Since radiant floors warm bodies directly and more quickly, a comfortable level is reached at a lower setting of heat and at a lower cost than forced air systems. Due to the simplicity of installation and operating costs, a radiant floor warming system is less expensive than a forced air heating system. Other advantages include no routine maintenance, no filters to replace and no ductwork required. Radiant floor warming will work with most types of floor materials, including hardwood, tile, carpet, stone, plywood, concrete, marble and laminate. Although our air is full of pollutants and allergens, a forced air system exacerbates the problem by re-circulating these particles in the air we breathe. Radiant floor warming technology eliminates drafts and reduces dust without drying the air. Radiant floor warming technology allows for a comfortable barefoot walk in the midst of winter, even for pets. It provides home and business owners with an inexpensive, efficient way to heat their structures, while increasing the value of their property. |
