BENEFITS OF RADIANT FLOOR HEATING
What is radiant floor heating?
- Pipes are laid out within a concrete slab during construction, or on top of an existing slab.
- Areas to be heated are divided into separate heating circuits and controlled by thermostats.
- Heated water is circulated through the pipe network to heat the desired floor area.
Ideally suited to solar energy utilisation.
- Floor heating runs at lower temperatures than radiators say.
- Lower temperatures make for more efficient collection of solar energy.
- No heat exchanger is required between solar panels and heating circuit.
Ideal heat distribution.
- The room is heated from the floor up rather than from the ceiling down.
- This type of heating is more comfortable. No more cold feet in winter.
- More energy efficient since the ceiling is not heated.
Silent and Hidden
- Water is circulated silently through pipes in the entire floor
- No unsightly radiators or floor duct outlets are needed
- No space needs to be left for ducting vents
- No noisy ventilation fans
Healthy
- Floor heating does not dry the air out the way ducted heating does
- No draught is generated by convection radiators or duct outlets
- Your feet stay warm
- No electro magnetic radiation as with electric underfloor heating
