Infrared Floor Heating

Radiant floor heating systems warm the objects and people in the room directly by infrared radiation.

Infrared floor heating.

Under floor heating provides a pleasant heat as human s feet tend to be 2 c 3 c warmer than the head. Infrared under floor heating runs at much lower temperatures than radiators due to the fact that its heating source is released from a much greater floor area i e. No boiler no water no 1 2 inch thick tubing to alter the floor s height. Both provide heating in a room from the floor up for consistent efficient warmth.

Electric radiant floor heating. Heating by radiant energy is observed every day the warmth of the sunshine being the most commonly observed example. There are two types of radiant floor heating electric and water based systems. Radiant heating is a technology for heating indoor and outdoor areas.

For an alternative to the cost and complication of a hydronic system there s electric radiant heat. Because of this it is much more comfortable your feet are warm and your upper body is warmed at a comfortable temperature rate and very importantly at a. Warm water systems run hot water through pipes to create heat whereas electric underfloor heating heats wiring beneath the floor to generate heat. Its warmth comes from a loop of thin electric wire laid directly under the finish floor.

It is the method of intentionally using the principles of radiant heat to transfer radiant energy from an emitting heat source to an object. This method of heating is much more efficient and comfortable than systems that heat the air. With the heat coming from the ground up the room s temperature will feel much more consistent with no cold spots or drafts.
