Although radiant heating has been around for thousands of years, many people still believe that it is a new technology, which in turn has led to several myths and misconceptions surrounding it. The first is how old it is, and most people believe it’s only been around for the last 20 years or so. Another […]
Depending on the type of system you choose, there are only a few key components that are needed to keep the system running. For hydraulic systems, all that is needed is a water heater or boiler, pipes in the floor, which are usually made of PEX pipes, and a water manifold, including all the necessary […]
Common problems with underfloor heating system with heated air The most common problem with this type of system is ductwork. Most ductwork corrodes over time inside the concrete, leading to problems in the future. Only one company currently produces non-corrosive air ducts that can be used in this type of system without constant problems. The […]
Costs of an air-heated underfloor heating system The cost of installing an air heating system is approximately $14 per square foot, which is similar to hydraulic systems. This does not include the cost of flooring installed above the ducts or the cost of a concrete slab. Underfloor heating system installation by Continal Underfloor Another fantastic […]
Electronic water heating system In an electronic radiant underfloor heating system, wires or cables, and sometimes mats in small rooms, are laid either in a wet or dry installation under the floor. The system consists of several components, including floor sensors, a heating element – a mat or wires – and a thermostat. In small […]
Application of underground electric heating systems for commercial and industrial purposes Electric radiant underfloor heating is often used for commercial and industrial purposes. Different types of mats or loose wires allow for customization that can cover both large and small areas. The versatility of the installation, allowing for both wet and dry installations, as well […]
What to choose: gas or electric underfloor heating? When searching for a underfloor heating system, you will be offered two options: electric or gas. A system running on gas is also called a wet floor system. This is because hot water is used to heat the building. Wet heating system The “wet under the floor” […]
Types of water underfloor heating systems In fact, there are two different methods of using water systems of water underfloor heating – open and closed. In an open-loop process, water is taken from a source such as a well, heated, and pumped through the system once before being discharged. How to Install Electric Underfloor Heating […]
The hydraulic system is quite simple and consists of a heat source, tubes, a water collector and a liquid medium, a heat exchanger and a pump. As a heat source, you can use almost any method of heating water, including water heaters, boilers, geothermal heaters, solar water heaters, or tank less systems. The tubes are […]
Application of water heating systems for commercial and industrial purposes Like other forms of radiant floors in water heating systems, water heating systems are often used for commercial and industrial purposes. They can help create more uniform heating throughout the building at a lower cost, so they make sense for larger companies and businesses that […]
