your home. In-Floor Heating—the Ultimate Canadian Flooring Option! In-floor heating, also known as underfloor heating, is a type of central heating that uses climate-controlled heating via conduction, radiation and convection. You may have heard of radiant heating, which is the heating methodology—but is used by some to describe in-floor heating. While in-flooring heating is a form of radiant heating it isn’t the definition of it as there are other forms (like radiators—if you’re under 30…ask your parents what that is). The Benefits of In-Floor Heating There are a number of benefits to in-floor heating beyond that it is warmer on the feet… 1. Comfort In-floor heating is more comfortable as it delivers heat evenly across your floor. This means less cold spots for your feet and less Goldilocks heating (where this chair by the heat register is too hot, the other chair over there too cold). 2. Aesthetically-Pleasing In-floor heating eliminates the need for unsightly radiators, heat pumps and ugly vents. It is an interior decorator’s dream as it eliminates the need to decorate around your vents. 3. Energy-Efficiency This type of heating is extremely efficient as it delivers effective heating that isn’t wasted. It’s precision controls allow you to carefully control your heating. 4. Better Air Quality As in-floor heating doesn’t use forced air, it doesn’t pick up allergens from the outside air and doesn’t kick-up dust from existing heating infrastructure, or from dust around your home. 5. Quiet If you’ve ever been woken up in the middle of the night by your furnace kicking in then in-floor heating is for you. This entirely silent process ensure quiet living, in addition to cleaner living. 6. Warmth From-the-floor-up heating feels warmer as it has less hot and cold patches, it spreads heat evenly throughout the home and it doesn’t kick in and out as the temperature bounces between two extremes (often in the range of 68-73).
