If you've never
experienced Infloor radiant heat, you're in for something
wonderful. It's the kind of heat that warms you and your home
silently, invisibly___and oh so comfortably. That's because
Infloor works where it can create maximum comfort____from the
floor up.
With
Infloor, hot water tubes are attached to the subfloor and
covered with a thin layer of Therma-Floor, the thermal mass
that transfers heat to the room in much the same manner as a
traditional radiator.
Once you've experienced Infloor comfort, it's
hard to live with anything else. With forced air or baseboard
systems, warm air enters the room from fixed points along the
walls and quickly finds it way to the ceiling. This results in
erratic, inconsistent temperature fluctuations throughout the
room, and a greater potential for heat loss at the ceiling and
along exterior walls. If you lived on the ceiling that might
be tolerable, but since most of us are bound by gravity, the
ideal heating system is on that concentrates heat where you
live___near the floor.
That's
precisely how Infloor works, It uses the entire floor as a
radiator, surrounding people and objects with heating
comfort___and concentrating that comfort near the floor. The
temperature throughout the room remains nearly constant. This
factor alone reduces heat loss by up to 25 percent when
compared to similar homes using conventional heating methods.
