Radiant
Floor Heating (RFH)
is a quality heat distribution system that delivers
efficient, uniform heat by circulating hot water through tubes installed
beneath the floor.
RFH offers several
advantages over conventional heating
methods including: |
 |
Efficiency:
-
RFH heats objects and occupants, not air, so people
are comfortable at lower thermostat settings.
-
RFH produces even temperatures throughout a room,
eliminating heat buildup at the ceiling and along the outside walls where it is
most likely to escape.
-
RFH offers Temperature Zone Controls which can reduce
the amount of heat flowing to unused rooms.
|
|
Comfort:
-
RFH distributes even, draft free heat throughout an
entire floor, providing the ideal heat profile; warm feet at a cooler body
level.
-
RFH eliminates the need for fans and blowers,
resulting in a quieter environment and minimizing dust and pollen in the air,
important for people with allergies.

Theoretically Ideal Heating
|
Underfloor Heating
|
| As the graphs show, the ideal
heating situation is created by warming the room from floor level upward.
Radiant Floor Heating achieves this condition with a minimum level of energy
output. Result: warm feet, cool head, high comfort and maximum efficiency. |

|
| Flexibility:
RFH systems can be installed in many types of floors
including:
-
Under lightweight concrete over wood sub-floors
-
Under wood floors
-
Under wood over wood sub-floors
-
Within concrete slabs
RFH can be used with most types of floor covering and
hot water heat sources. |
