In cold times, the heat in your home becomes something essential and that we all seek to achieve a warm and comfortable environment. In this sense, the Radiating floor can help us achieve this goal.
It is a heating system that provides heat to our home in the most optimal way possible and also, ecologically and economically. In this article we tell you all the information about him.
Radiant foil: what it is and what it consists of
He heating film It is a heating system made up of a series of independent sheets that are distributed and integrated along the floor of the house.
Each one of these sheets has an independent installation, so the failure of one of them does not affect the operation of the rest of the system.
It is a system that works at low temperature, which makes it suitable for laminate flooring wooden as this material is not harmed by the heat emitted by the radiant foil. In addition, as it is less than 1mm thick, it is ideal for reforms or rehabilitations.
Its operation is based on the emission of heat by radiation and not by convection, which allows you not to have to have any intermediary.
Likewise, it is a portable system that has a useful life, certified by Avis Technique, granted by the French institute CSTB, of about 850,000 hours of use, which would be equivalent to about 100 years.
Benefits of using Radiant Folio
Opting for the installation of radiant foil in a home and also in other spaces, for example, an office, can provide numerous advantages.
First of all, it is important to highlight the ecological nature of this system, since it complies with all regulations focused on respect for the environment. In addition, its use represents a considerable saving energetic if we compare it with any other conventional heating system.
Regarding its installation, it is worth noting its speed and ease, as it is a short process that does not require many hours of work. This is due to the fact that it is installed on existing pavement and that a minimum thickness is required.
The heat distribution is uniform, optimal and efficient throughout the entire stay. It diffuses a soft heat that generates a warm and relaxed atmosphere without the need to complement yourself with an intermediary.
Likewise, the decoration and aesthetics of the home or space where the underfloor heating is installed is not altered as it is an invisible element and does not require the use of other devices such as radiators or heaters. In this sense, it reduces the risk of fire or smoke that is harmful to health, since it keeps the room warm without the need to use any of these devices.
Finally, it is important to mention an aspect that may not be known about this system and that is that it can be complemented with renewable energies such as solar photovoltaics.
