Radiant Floor

How does a radiant heating system work?

The answer is simple.

Warm floors, walls or ceilings are created by warm water pumped through plastic pipe. The pipe is embedded in the floor, or behind the sheet rock in a wall or ceiling, turning these surfaces into a source of silent warm comfort.

Radiant floors continue to be the most popular choice because of the unparalleled comfort of a warm floor. In many systems a high-tech boiler provides warm water which is piped through tubing, turning the floors into a large low temperature radiator.
