Radiant Infloor Heating

Hot Water Infloor Heating

Radiant infloor heating systems supply heat directly to the floor of a house.
The system depends largely on radiant heat transfer: the delivery of heat
directly from the hot surface to the people and objects in the room via the
radiation of heat. Radiant heating is the effect you feel when you can feel the
warmth of a hot stovetop element from across the room.

Radiant heating has a number of advantages: it is more efficient than
baseboard heating and usually more efficient than forced-air heating because
no energy is lost through ducts. The lack of moving air can also be
advantageous to people with severe allergies.

Hydronic (liquid) systems are the most popular and cost-effective radiant
heating systems for our climate. These systems pump heated water from a
boiler through tubing laid in a pattern underneath the floor. The cost of
installing a hydronic radiant floor varies by location and also depends on the
size of the home, the type of installation, and the floor covering.

Modern Sheet Metal uses Rehau products including the tubing and
pro-balance manifolds. For heating the system we use Munchkin high
efficiency boilers.
