Benefits of radiant floor heating

The number one benefit to Coldbuster radiant floor heating system is comfort. The radiant floor heating system "radiates" heat from the floor distributing the heat evenly throughout the rooms.

Other benefits of radiant floor heating include:
  • Silent operation
  • Unobtrusive and safe - no vents and no hot unsafe surfaces
  • Allergy and Environmentally friendly - no air circulation so does not spread dust pollen or germs
  • Easy installation and maintenance free
  • Low running costs - even heating distribution from radiant floor heating system allows thermostat to be set lower than traditional heating systems - with energy savings between 10-30%.
The Coldbuster radiant floor heating element is laid (floor heating installation) directly beneath the floor surface turning the floor into an efficient radiator.

The radiant floor heating system is installed in multiple zones. Thermostats control the heat to a particular area of the home by either air sensor or floor sensor, or a combination of both which is suited to different heating needs due to what a room is used for, how often a room is used, and even what floor covering is used.

A heated floor normally "feels" neutral. Its surface temperature is usually less than our body temperature. On very cold days when the heating is called on, the floor will actually feel warm to touch. Radiant floor temperatures are far more comfortable than hot-then-cool breezes often experienced with forced air systems or heat pumps.

Radiant floor heating is a superior method of heating your home, upward from the floor to provide optimum comfort and many other benefits.
