RADIANT HEAT FLOORING EFFICIENTLY WARMS YOUR SPACE

Radiant Heat Installation

Radiant Heat floors have been an efficient way to bring warmth to a space for many years. Now, with modern plumbing and design, radiant heat flooring proves itself to be very efficient for today’s homes.

What is a Radiant Heat Flooring System?

Radiant Heat Flooring System is made of a layer of special tubular piping over a layer of foam and then covered with concrete or tile flooring. The tubing is hooked up to a boiler system that pumps hot water or another solution through the piping, heating the floor and keeping the home warm and comfortable during cold weather.

Best for Solid Surface Flooring and High Ceilings

Radiant Heat Flooring System keeps solid surface flooring such as concrete or tile floors warm and comfortable. The heat zone is down to the floor where it is needed. This method works particularly well in areas that have high ceilings. Your Forced Hot Air heating dollars will dissipate into your higher ceiling, whereas the Radiant Heating dollars will stay to the lower portion of the space, creating a more efficient heat source.

The US Department of Energy describes Radiant Heat Flooring Systems as:

Hydronic (liquid) systems are the most popular and cost-effective radiant heating systems for heating-dominated climates. More…

Radiant Heat Flooring is Sensible Outdoor Heating

Radiant Heat Flooring System in Outdoor Walkway

Radiant Heated Outdoor Walkway

If the Radiant Heat Flooring System is under a driveway, walkway or outdoor space, a sensor is installed within the concrete which switches the system on as it senses snow falling on the concrete. This warms the concrete, melting the snow off of the driveway, walkway or other outdoor space, leaving the surface clear and dry. Read about a recent installation of a Radiant Heat Flooring System we did. The homeowner won’t have to worry about shoveling his driveway or walkway ever again.
