For people who live in countries where the temperature drops below zero every now and then, or remains at low temperatures throughout the year, staying warm is definitely a priority for your comfort. Apart from the traditional forms of heating that are being used in today’s world, one of the best ways to stay comfortably warm is by using the technology of under floor heating.
There are several reasons why this technology is beginning to substitute for all other forms. It eliminates the expense that comes along with it as well as the installation and maintenance issues that crop up with older methods of heating.
Of course, most people would assume that this new technology that gives you the comfort of a heated tile floor (controlled by a thermostat) is similar to hydronic radiant floor heating, but it isn’t.
Eventhough the principle of heating the home it is installed in is very similar, the truth is that this new technology is much cheaper and is easier to install than hydronic floor heating systems.
But there are several other benefits as well.
Benefit #1: Comfort
Since this method of heating does not heat the air, but the objects in your home, you won’t have to deal with dry and stuffy air. What separates this system from others is the fact that it is the coldest part of the home (your floor) that gets heated first instead of the ceiling.
Benefit #2: Dry Floors
The beauty of this system lies in the fact that no matter how wet the floor gets in the cold season, this method of heating dries it up really quickly, so there is no chance of feeling cold due to water that has been spilt or brought in by shoes, boots, and the like.
Benefit #3: Invisible and silent
Unlike other methods of generating floor heat, since this type of heating is under the floor, it’s invisible and consumes no space except for that used for a thermostat. And if that’s not enough, the system works silently too.
