What is Radiant Heat?
Radiant heat warms the closest and coldest mass, which radiates heat throughout that space evenly. In other words, radiant heat warms cold objects.
Radiant heat will heat the floors, tables, and people. Radiant heat is a direct contact with heated which heats from the inside out rather than forced air where objects are heated from the outside in which make for higher energy consumption and less efficiency. |

systems, the line voltage is converted to low voltage
(up to 65 V.) of electricity in the control unit (which contains a step-down transformer) and this low voltage electricity flows through the heating element.
The low voltage heating elements used are either Tuff Cable or ZMesh.
The heated material then heats the flooring until it reaches the right temperature set by the floor thermostat.
The radiant heat then passes through the floor and continues to heat other objects in the room (tables, chairs, people). The heat will continue
to heat the room and its objects up to the ceiling. Radiant heat will give you the most consistent room temperature from floor to ceiling compared
to any other heating system.
