Radiant Floor Heating Articles

The first time I had the pleasure of walking barefoot across heated floors, I marveled at sensation of warm tile greeting the soles of my feet with every step. Radiant heated floors are about more than warm feet—they are an impressive alternative to traditional heating solutions. Radiant heat is a unique transfer of energy that naturally searches out colder objects to warm. Instead of rising like warm air from forced air heating systems, radiant heat starts by warming the coldest and closest objects from its source. The most common radiant heated floor systems are hydronic and electric. Which one you choose depends largely on the application, square footage and your budget.
