Radiating floor

The ideal heating for babies and children

heater problems with kids

On too many occasions, wall heaters cause contact burns in the little ones since, being placed at a low height, the little ones can easily access them and cause these injuries.

These radiators located very close to the crib produce excess heat, which can cause cooling or dehydration, even making it difficult for children to sleep.

What is not to say about the dry environment that some facilities can produce without any type of regulation or thermal control, which can affect the health of our children with respiratory and skin problems and eye irritation.

Heating recommended for babies and children

To avoid these and other added problems, the heating system by Cecather electric radiant folio offers uniform low-temperature heat over the entire surface of the room, controlled by programmable timer-thermostats WiFi to avoid thermal oscillations and maintaining a homogeneous room temperature, hardly heating the air and avoiding dryness in the environment.

We are specialists in electric underfloor heating. Soon we will provide a nursery school in the Carballo Town Hall, in A Coruña, with underfloor heating using electric underfloor heating.

Electric radiant foil in building projects

How to plan a project as energy efficient as possible.

One of our latest collaborations: residential building in Gijón
(Promotions and Construction Alonso e Hijos SA + Architecture studio Álvaro Ron Arquitectos)

1. Choosing radiant foil heating

To heat the building, the system of radiant heating by electric folio “Cecather®”. Due to its efficiency, energy consumption is significantly reduced, allowing the temperature of each environment to be controlled independently according to needs. In addition, since there is no combustion, it is clean, safe and ecological. Another point to take into account among its advantages is the issue of the space it leaves free, since the panels are integrated into the floor, without heaters or radiators in sight.

On the other hand, any heating installation that is efficient must incorporate regulation and control to maintain ideal thermal conditions in air-conditioned areas, adjusting, at the same time, energy consumption to variations in thermal demand, as well as stopping the service when be necessary. The system “Cecather®” incorporates units of programmable timer-thermostats offering the possibility of turn the system on or off via Wi-Fi by independent zones, and can be activated from the place where the user is. 

2. Choosing aerothermal pump centralized for ACS.

The aerothermal pump system is the combination of a heat pump and an accumulator that uses the heat from the air as a renewable source for the sole purpose of providing high comfort while reducing CO2 emissions is to extract thermal energy from the air that surrounds us. to use it effectively in the installations of DHW production. It is, therefore, a solution of great efficiency and performance. It is a renewable energy, included as such in the CTE (Technical Building Code). It is sustainable, and is classified as such by the European Union.

3. Choosing heat recovery.

The houses will have a system of heat recuperators which makes it possible to take advantage of a large part of the energy contained in the extract air, transferring it to the inlet air. In this way, it is possible to recover a very high percentage of the energy used for the air conditioning of the premises that would otherwise be wasted.

The air is introduced through the supply duct network to the bedrooms and dining room (in this way there will be two duct networks, one for air supply and the other for extraction). Air preheating occurs in the static heat exchanger located in the ventilation unit.

4. Choosing the photovoltaic system for self-consumption

Self-consumption is a generation scheme based on electricity production at the point of consumption. From a practical point of view, self-consumption allows users to control electricity production, consumption and significant savings. 

The building will have panels photovoltaic for self-consumption, located on the roof, consisting of 30 400Wp photovoltaic modules distributed in two groups, with a resulting power of 12.00 kWp.

The use of this combination of thermal equipment, combined with constructive solutions (insulation on façades using the SATE System and roofs, suppression of thermal breaks, windows and special glass) has enabled the goal of high building efficiency to be achieved, reducing almost one 75% less heating than other conventional buildings of recent construction. But they will also get a reduction of CO2 emissions minimizing final energy consumption, thus achieving ten low energy homes.

The ideal heating for fitness room, yoga and pilates

Enhance your yoga or pilates room with underfloor heating:

  • with hardly any works
  • healthy heating
  • even heat
  • Directly heat people
  • Compatible with all types of floors
  • DOES NOT dirty
  • does not make noise
  • DOES NOT dry out the air
  • It does NOT need radiators, or boiler

A space with thermal fluctuations and air currents can be synonymous with customer casualties.

Underfloor heating is the heating recommended by the WHO

There are two types of heating: convection emanating from radiators and underfloor heating. Convection heating is not recommended as it is not a uniform heat and raises particles and bacteria into the air that can cause discomfort in people with asthma, for example.

underfloor heating offers a much more comfortable indoor climate. It heats the interior walls and the objects that are inside the room, as well as the people. For this reason it consumes little energy since the air is not heated, but the objects in a room. It does not dirty, it does not make noise, it does not dry out the air and it is a clean and invisible installation that does not condition your space.

The feeling of stepping on a warm floor in the middle of winter is priceless and is the best incentive for your client to repeat their experience in your room.

The radiant foil: efficient heating without works or maintenance

Underfloor heating using electric foil allows you to provide your space with heating with hardly any works in a very short time. It is compatible with all types of floors and is easily placed under the pavement. If you already have laminated flooring installed, for example, it would only be to lift it up, place the radiant sheets below and replace the laminate flooring on top. On the other hand, you would save the cost of radiators and boiler, as well as any maintenance.

What really is a healthy home?

We spend much of our daily time indoors, and our home is one of them. For this reason, it is important that our homes are designed and built with the aim of promoting the well-being of its inhabitants.

What factors influence to get to have a healthy home?

The thermal insulator

A good insulation of the housing envelope implies benefits both in winter and in summer, and that is that the exterior walls, the roof and the screed must have a low thermal transmittance. An investment in these materials will mean great energy savings in the short term and its rapid amortization.

The Windows

The weak point of the envelope of a house is found in the windows, so it is important to pay attention both to its components and design and to its correct installation. Its carpentry must be of very low thermal transmittance and its double or tripe glass, filled with inert gas. The glass must be "low-emissive" so that it reflects the heat inside the house in winter and keeps it outside during the summer. 

The aforementioned materials (thermal insulation and windows) must be installed correctly, avoiding the so-called "thermal bridges", areas where unwanted thermal losses or gains can occur, due to a variation in thermal resistance.

indoor air quality

People and appliances generate heat. This heat is used by the ventilation system by preheating the clean incoming air before expelling the stale air. With this we will maintain excellent health conditions in our home (very important today).

heating

If we take into account the application of the above, the amount of energy needed to thermally condition our home would be so small that with a low-temperature system, such as underfloor heating using Cecather electric foil, all expectations would be met to have our home. comfortable.

What is thermal comfort?

Thermal comfort (or also called hygrothermal comfort) could basically be defined as that situation in which we do not find any thermal discomfort. That is to say, when the environmental environment produces neither cold nor heat. Technically speaking it would be the temperature that the human body perceives, not the one that can be measured with a thermometer. The thermometer would determine the ambient temperature in a space, while thermal comfort would be the arithmetic mean between the ambient temperature and the average temperature of the surfaces that surround the body, this being subjective and depending on various factors.

What factors does thermal comfort depend on?

Humidity

Keeping the humidity in our house between 40 and 65 % is ideal, since the body can adapt perfectly to these circumstances. LRadiant heating does not dry out the environment, so much so that its installation is recommended in hospitals, nursing homes and other collective facilities.

air speed

Air currents directly affect our temperature. Maintaining an air speed between 0 and 2 m/s helps us to have greater comfort. Radiant heating, due to its own heat emission, hardly produces air movements or removes dust, and with it mites, bacteria or mold.

mean radiant temperature

This represents the heat emitted by the different elements of our house, that is, the envelope, and that directly affects the global temperature. Radiant heating, being integrated into the flooring, is distributed evenly throughout the house, providing optimal heat flow for our comfort.
