Building Owners

Modular Radiant Flooring offers a special kind of comfort. It does not heat the air. Instead, the heat moves directly to the objects in the room. Conventional baseboard heating, whether electric or hydronic, must first heat room air that eventually circulates through convection currents.

Does your building use too much energy, or do you want the comfort advantages offered by Modular Radiant Flooring? The most cost-effective heating system available today can be yours for a very reasonable initial investment, and you can enjoy lower operating costs while improving the resale value of your building. 

Modular Radiant Flooring offers many practical advantages:

• You get heat where you want it: Modular Radiant Flooring systems produce less air stratification than baseboard or forced-air systems. So heat starts near the floor, directly in your comfort zone. In a radiant system, the temperature difference between floor and ceiling is usually only two or three degrees.
• Cleaner:  Modular Radiant Flooring reduces the circulation problems associated with forced air. People with allergies will appreciated the reduced circulation of dust, animal dander, odors, fumes and other irritants. 
• Greater flexibility in decorating: Since Modular Radiant Flooring does not require forced-air diffusers or baseboard heaters, you have greater flexibility in decorating. 
• You can lower your thermostat: Because the heat originates at your feet, and the comfort of our lower extremities has a lot to do with overall comfort, temperatures can be set lower.  Typically 65 degrees Fahrenheit (F) is sufficient instead of 72 degrees.
• It is more efficient: When a heat-retaining thermal mass such as structural concrete is combined with  improved boilers, circulators and controls, the energy savings over conventional systems can approach 50%.
• Reduced heat loss: Heat loss through walls and windows --precisely where baseboard units and forced-air diffusers are located-- is minimized because the air in the room is carrying less heat. Unlike forced-air systems, Modular Radiant Flooring doesn't increase air pressure in rooms, which also means less heat loss through doors and windows.
