Heat - Radiant Heat

Accomplished by radiation or emission of energy of a wave length not visible to the human eye. Best example would be warmth felt from the sun. It heats objects and is not affected by gravity or air movement. In a convectively heated room the thermostat must be set to 74 degrees to keep feet warm. Both forced-air and hot water baseboard are convective and the air is warmer the higher in the room you go. In a radiant floor heated room the thermostat can be set at 65 degrees. Feet are conductively satisfied with the 70-72 degree floor. Being able to set a lower thermostat results in a lower bill at the end of the month! People are more comfortable in the, more efficient, radiant floor heated environment.

Radiant Heat Benefits

• No radiators means more elegant rooms and more space - Wouldn't your rooms look more elegant without radiators and unattractive pipework?
• No radiators means more style and space - You can place furniture where you want it, not where radiators dictate.
• Lower heating bills - The Radiant Heat System is a more efficient way to heat your rooms. Radiant Heat produces even temperatures throughout the room. thereby eliminating "cold spots" and wasted energy. Significant fuel bill savings can be expected.
• More comfort in your home - With Radiant Heat, you don't get the convection currents that you get with conventional radiators so the heat is more even. This means less draughts and more comfort.
• Controllable Warmth - The Radiant Heat System is more responsive to temperature demand than an underfloor system. Individual room thermostats give you more control over your home environment.
• A healthier environment for your family - The combination of lower convection currents means less airborne dust, carpet fibres and allergen. resulting in a healthier environment in which to live.
• Easier to keep clean - Cleaning Radiant Heat System is quick and easy. Just wipe with a damp cloth.
