Why is floor heating so pleasant?

Heat rises up!!

This simple fact explains why floor heating is the most pleasant method of heating unlike the conventional heating by radiators. When heating by radiators is used, the heated air (convection) above the radiator rises up to the ceiling (where the temperature is the highest) and subsequently it falls down to flow around your feet as a cooled air.

Unlike this, floor heating provides a pleasant temperature of air above the floor, so you do not feel cold at feet and, in addition, also a pleasant temperature is provided in the place of your body and head. Owing to only a slightly circulating air, also the dust flow is noticeably lower than in the traditional heating by radiators. This is naturally a great advantage for persons suffering from allergies or asthma.

Advantages:
  • Lower ambient temperature and thus lower heating costs
  • Hidden system, no radiators
  • Enables you to freely design the equipment of your flat
  • Low dust whirl and flying
  • Better air humidity, healthier climate
 
There are various methods of room heating. According to the selected type, also heating mats and heating cable must be installed. We distinguish two main forms of heating: direct heating and indirect heating. These can be further divided to main heating and heating providing warm comfort. According to the type and use of heating, either heating mats or heating cable is chosen. Based on the requirements and planned use, also the options for temperature control are chosen.
