Why have under floor heating ?
Traditional heating systems simply heat just the air. This air is then blown into the room, creating drafts and temperature fluctuations. Warm air rises, so to maintain a comfortable temperature level the air must be heated to temperatures of 120°F or higher.
Radiant heating quietly and continuously warms the room by constantly circulating warm water through pipes located beneath the floor. The heat radiates upward and warms everything in the room, especially you. Imagine standing in direct sunlight - that's the feeling of radiant heating. By warming the entire floor, it efficiently raises the temperature of everything in the room. You can actually lower your thermostat setting while enjoying the same level of comfort and reducing your heating bills by 30%.
There are two common methods used to install radiant heating.
Wet installations are most common in new homes and consist of pouring gypsum-based concrete over pipes installed in the floor space. When the system is operating, the warm water circulates through the pipes and distributes it evenly throughout the floor and to everything in the room.
A dry installation is commonly used when a poured floor just isn't practical. In this case, the pipe is placed in the joist space or underneath a suspended wood floor, or on top of the subfloor. Warm water circulates through the pipes and warms the floor above it. In the absence of the concrete used in the "wet" installation method above, heat transfer plates may be used with the pex pipe to help to distribute the heat evenly.
Imagine enjoying the warmth and comfort of an energy-efficient system that radiates warm, even heat throughout your home.
Northwest Floor Heatings radiant heating system works by circulating warm water through a network of cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes placed in the floor. The surface area of the floor gently radiates heat throughout the room.
Radiant heating can be installed in a single room, or throughout your home, and can be used with a variety of heat sources, and floor coverings. For the ultimate in comfort and economy, room temperatures can be individually controlled using multiple thermostats.
It works great with today's open floor plans, especially in areas with high ceilings. There are no heaters, radiators or vents to work around making furniture placement a snap.
Say goodbye to cold feet and drafty rooms forever and discover the comfort of radiant floor heating for yourself !
