Infrared Floor Heating Installation

The distribution of infrared heater rays.

Infrared floor heating installation.

Infrared system allows you upgrade any area of your existing home while it might not be possible with hydronic systems. If they are in a corner and too close to a wall other than the one they are attached to then you will be warming a small concentrated area. This is not ideal since you will be wasting potentially useful heat. Because of this it is much more comfortable your feet are warm and your upper body is warmed at a comfortable temperature rate and very importantly at a.

The surface underneath the electric filament must then be insulated in order to stop heat loss downwards into the floor ground as opposed to upwards into the building. Even thou the average energy consumption of both infrared and hydronic systems are very close when put side by side the initial cost of installation of the hydronic systems and maintenance is much much higher. Infrared under floor heating runs at much lower temperatures than radiators due to the fact that its heating source is released from a much greater floor area i e. Radiant ceiling heat cost.

A damp proof membrane is required as the first layer to prevent damp and condensation issues caused between the warm heating surface of the floor and the cold lower surface. The whole floor area.
