Underfloor heating systems works on quite a different principal
to radiator systems.
Radiators heat the air in front of them to very high temperatures
(up to 85° C). This hot air then rises to the ceiling,
triggering a convection process which circulates the hot air
through the room. However, this often results in hot ceiling
but cold floor draughts.
FloRad Underfloor Systems instead use radiant energy to warm
the entire floor to around 25° C, about the temperature
it would be on a warm summers day. The radiant energy is emitted
continuously throughout the room by the walls, the furniture
and the ceiling, creating a uniformly comfortable room.
