Although it may seem trivial to some, achieving the right temperature in your home is one of the most important aspects of personalizing your private environment. Floor heating is one of the most revolutionary methods of providing exactly this to home-owners around the world. This model of heat-dispersion is based on radiant heat—floor heating thus achieves a more balanced room temperature based on the ideal temperatures for both the lower and upper-body.
Scientific studies have revealed that the human body is most comfortable when the floor temperature ranges between 19 and 29 degrees Celsius while the best temperature for head-level air is 20 to 24 degrees Celsius. Floor heating is entirely able to provide this because the floor emanates heat which then cools on average two degrees before reaching head-level. This will reduce head-aches and discomfort by an appreciable level.
Aesthetically, floor heating is a much more interesting solution than central heating with its cumbersome and many times ugly radiators. Floor heating, in fact, is entirely invisible to people within a home—it works underneath any type of floor to provide our private spaces with more than ideal climates.
Many modern humans are concerned with energy efficiency—floor heating also outperforms convection-based central heating in this area. Indeed radiant heat is also more efficient at limiting air-infiltration heat loss—your energy bills will be decreased (as well as your impact on the environment.)
All these consideration aside, there is nothing more lovely than stepping out of a shower onto a nice warm floor. It is pleasant to the feet and helps you start your day with a feeling of comfort and well-being. Floor heating can increase happiness, facilitate every-day productivity, and improve your life in general. You won’t regret installing a heating system beneath your floor—it will change your life.
