Electric Radiant Floor

Early drafts of electric radiant floor heating with heating cables have been implemented in some northern countries in the early 1970's. Floor heating was used for a long time, mainly in areas in which the material without heating the floor was unpleasantly cold to the touch, especially in bathrooms.
The use of electric radiant floor heating as the main method of heating is more prevalent during the 1990's. As a result, use of stone and tile floors in interior design increased.
Infloor heating has a number of advantages. For example, heating devices are hidden from the eyes. Heating of this kind provides a comfortable temperature distribution, preventing drafts from the floor.
For some northern countries in rooms with floors which have high thermal conductivity (i. e., ceramic and stone floorings), floor heating is a practical necessity. In addition, it reduces the risk of damage to the floor in wet conditions, such as the bathroom.
Thermal energy for underfloor heating is distributed over the entire surface of the floor. This prevents air circulation which makes floor heating perfect for people who suffer from allergies.
The temperature of the electric radiant floor surface can be limited to 26 - 28 ° C. Respectively, the temperature of heating elements, which are located under the floor covering material, should be about 30 - 33 ° C. When setting up a regulatory system one should always keep in mind that when the outdoor temperature is higher than estimated, the temperature of the floor surface must be lower than the calculated value, otherwise the air in the room overheats.
