Information on radiant floor heating, including benefits of concrete floor heat, lower heating and energy costs, warmth, design and installation tips, and more.
Radiant floor heating provides more consistent and comfortable warmth compared to forced-air systems. The heat is evenly distributed across the floor, eliminating cold spots and reducing temperature stratification.
Radiant floor heating is arguably the ideal home heating system. It’s comfortable, efficient, unobtrusive, quiet, and does not blow dust and allergens around the way forced hot air systems do.
Learn how to install radiant floor heating over an existing concrete slab, adding comfort and energy efficiency to your home.
Like sand, concrete is an ideal carrier of radiant heat because of its inherent thermal mass. As warm water circulates through the tubing (or as electricity warms the heating elements), the concrete flooring turns into an efficient, inconspicuous radiator.
Guide to designing and installing radiant floor heating. Includes information about educating yourself, finding a qualified installer, understanding how radiant heat systems work, and getting the right system for your needs.
