When you wake up in the mornings, would you rather put your feet on a nice, warm floor or an ice-cold one? Of course, the answer is a warm floor. With radiant flooring, you can experience comfort throughout your home every morning.
The Benefits of Radiant Flooring
Radiant flooring is like the sun. When you go outside on a warm day, everything is warm – not just the air. The grass is warm, the sidewalk is warm and the patio furniture is warm. This is how radiant heat works. Radiant heating warms everything in the room so you’ll never sit down on a shockingly cold leather couch again.
This is one of the many benefits of radiant heating. Radiant flooring operates by installing wiring or water tubing beneath your floors. The wires are heated or warm water flows through the tubing, and then the wires or tubing heat the flooring. Heat then transfers to everything that touches the floor.
As you walk on the floor, you are warmed, and your furniture is warmed because it touches the heated floor. Additionally, radiant flooring is more energy efficient than traditional forced-air heating systems, which only heat the room’s air and nothing else. This means the cold furniture and drapes will attempt to absorb heat from the air, making your room cool faster.
Quiet Luxury
Not only will radiant flooring allow you to be wrapped in continuous and even warmth, you’ll not have to hear or see it. Because it’s installed beneath the flooring, you’ll never hear another noisy unit turning on and off disturbing your sleep.
Economical Heating
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, radiant floor heating can cut costs by 20 to 50 percent. Because forced-air systems blow out hot air that immediately rises to the ceiling and cools off too rapidly, with radiant floor heating you’ll be more comfortable and happier with your utility bill.
