Believe it or not, radiant
floors are one of the oldest forms of heating a structure —
dating all the way back to Roman times. Radiant floor heat
provides numerous benefits, including increased comfort,
even temperatures, cleaner air, no cold drafts, no unsightly
ductwork and no floor vents, all while being quieter and
more energy-efficient compared to forced-air heat.
In a radiant floor heating
system, warm water flows through tubes located underneath
the floors. That warmth radiates up from the floors and
warms everything it comes in contact with — including
people.
And radiant is compatible
under any type of floor covering — carpet, wood, slate,
tile, linoleum, and even concrete — making design
possibilities endless.
Clean :
Because radiant doesn't use
blowers, it doesn't circulate dirt, dust, pollutants or
allergens throughout the home.
Comfortable :
Reaches every corner of the
house. Even takes the chill out of kitchen, bathroom and
lower level floors.
Economical :
Could reduce your heating
bill dramatically. And saving energy is good for the
environment.
