In floor heating and cooling.

Perhaps the best way to understand how in floor heating can help to heat an entire room is to consider how most furnace based heating and cooling systems operate. In a hydronic radiant floor heating system plastic tubing distributes hot water around the house from a central manifold like this one. Radiant floor cooling radiantec has promoted open direct radiant floor heating that also has a limited cooling capacity. You can achieve further efficiency gains by using renewable energy sources and a heat pump.

With an in floor heating system the laws of thermodynamics are on your side. Our range of products also allows us to provide underfloor cooling all year round if required for warmer climates and we can also. Radiant floor cooling technology is stillin the experimental stages in most areas but is rapidly gaining popularity in europewhere cooling needs are generally small. Hydronic floor heating systems use hot water pumped through plastic tubing laid out in a serpentine pattern to heat the floor.

Warm water systems run hot water through pipes to create heat whereas electric underfloor heating heats wiring beneath the floor to generate heat. It s ideal for remodeling bathrooms and kitchens to add radiant floor heating and offers an upscale option when designing new construction floor warming. For heating or cooling with underfloor heating floor integrated systems distribute heat evenly and ensure a comfortable temperature at all times with no dust clouds. You benefit from optimal use of energy sources.

Thermo floor underfloor heating systems provide cost effective and energy efficient heating during the winter months but they can also be used to provide underfloor cooling in the summer months. Both provide heating in a room from the floor up for consistent efficient warmth. And offers an ultra thin low profile system that installs beneath tile stone and even vinyl or laminate flooring. Incoming cold water from the homes well is directed through the radiant tubing prior to reaching the tap.

The complexity of the system adds to the cost and air conditioning must be added separately. The cost up charge is minimal potable water rated tubing stainless or brass circulater and few other hardware items. Cost of radiant floor heating the cost of installing a hydronic radiant floor is approximately 4 00 to 6 00 persquare foot 40 60 per square meter. The suntouch floor heating mat measures 10 ft.
