Under Floor Heating how well does it work?

Florad system heats by radiation, not convection. Florad's heating effect starts from the lowest point to give contact comfort by keeping you warm. The whole floor is a large low temperature radiant surface keeping feet warm.

This leads to comfort and radiation from all walls and equipment. There is minimal effect on relative humidity conditions and no excessive energy loss at high level via walls and windows. Most conventional heating systems concentrate on heating the air in a room by passing over a hot surface forcibly by a fan or by convection. The warm air rises, causing condensation and excessive energy losses at high levels through ceilings, walls and windows.

Using warm water as the heat distributor means a safe and clean living environment, no electro-magnetic radiation from the floor. The whole floor becomes a large, low temperature radiant surface distributing warmth evenly through the room with our solar water heating system. This even heat distribution provides considerable ongoing energy savings. The room temperature is conveniently controlled by a programmable thermostat.

Florad's system can be installed in or on any concrete floor and is suitable for all types of floor coverings. The Florad system is ideal for solid timber floors as well as a suspended timber floor heating system.

The Florad low temperature heating system allows for the use of alternative energy sources like gas bottles, solar collectors, wood fired boilers and heat pumps. The lower emitting temperature heating system can reduce energy costs substantially depending on the design of the house and the selected energy source.
