Radiant heat is very simply the most comfortable form of heating! Hold your hand over a hot cup of coffee and feel the heat. The logical conclusion is that heat rises. Logical maybe, but incorrect! "Hot air" rises but "heat" can travel in any direction in the form of convection (moving air) conduction (direct contact) or radiation (in the form of rays like from the sun).

That is why you can feel the heat of the cup when you place your hand to the side of it. Radiant heat transfer is caused by a warm surface giving up its heat to a cooler surface. The radiant heat travels in the form of infrared light which is absorbed by the cooler mass.

Whenever there is a temperature difference between two surfaces, both surfaces will attempt to equalize. Radiant heat energy travels through space without heating the space itself. It only turns into heat when it contacts a cooler surface. Think of a cold sunny day with no wind. Even a cold day without wind can feel comfortable due to the energy transfer from the sun. Our human comfort relies just as much on radiant heat transfer as it does on air temperature, yet the majority of heating and air-conditioning professionals think only in terms of air temperature. As a result, Americans are missing out on a truly comfortable living environment in their own homes or places of business. By controlling both the air temperature and the radiant transfer, radiant panel systems deliver a comfort that is unsurpassed.

Radiant heat is like stepping in to sunshine!.

Radiantmax Underfloor Packages are designed for the installation of a radiant system under the subfloor. This is ideal for retrofits of existing buildings. We include all the parts necessary to install a complete system, including Radiantmax aluminum heat transfer plates and reflective insulation.

Don't be fooled by the companies who try and sell larger diameter tubing systems with one tube per bay and no heat transfer plates.

They cost less but they just don't work as well.
