Radiant floor heating is a heating system that supplies heat directly to the panels, floors or walls of the house; its working principle is based on heat transfer. It simply involves transmitting heat from the warm surface to people and objects in the room. Sometimes it is also called infrared radiation.

Heat rises all over the floor and heats everything associated with it. The air temperature in the room remains constant, and no heat is released from your body when it comes in contact with the cold floor. The method is more effective than a conventional forced-air system is that the radiant temperature remains constant. The rooms of the house were forced to heat under the roof and cool near the floor. This is the most convenient and convenient way to heat a room. This heating method is divided into three types

Electric Radiant Floor Heating

As the name itself suggests, this type of electric floor heating uses electricity as an energy source. In this way, the wires are placed underground, whose temperature rises like an electric blanket. Although this method is very effective, it is very expensive. Therefore it is rarely used. However, it should be noted that this type of radiant heating provides a more consistent room temperature from floor to ceiling than any other heating system. The correct temperature can be achieved by adjusting the floor thermostat as required.

Hydronic Floor or Liquid Radiant Floor Heating

Hydronic Floor Heating uses fluids to provide a cost-effective radiant heating system in a heating climate. Radiant floor systems arrange the boiler’s hot water according to the pattern under the floor through the PX pipe. The system is relatively inexpensive and is often used in residential construction, particularly in bathrooms and tiled basements.

Radiant Air Floor Heating

This is primarily ideal for use in commercial buildings. In this type of heat, the air is the heating medium, and heat is provided directly through ducts through panels in the wall or floor. However, the disadvantage of this type of heating is that it does not retain much heat. Some companies have combined this with solar air heating systems and achieved amazing results. The ideal floor for this type of heating is ceramic tile, marble and slate.

Conclusion

Radiant Floor Heating is an energy-efficient and cleaner way to heat your home than more traditional methods. Once you experience this kind of heat in your home, everything else will look very hot, very cold or uncomfortable. Just get any of these floor heating options in your home or office and enjoy the dual benefits of beautiful and heated floors.
