 Why is Radiant Floor Heating more comfortable? It is the only heating system that matches the exact temperature requirements of the human body. Our body temperature is warmest at our head and circulation is poorest at our feet. That's why the human body is most comfortable in a room that is warm at the floor and slightly cooler at head level. Forced air heating systems which blow scorched air are the exact opposite of what the human body requires -- hot at the ceiling and cold at the floor. With Radiant Floor Heating it is also easier to zone heat your home or building. Work areas can be kept at a comfortable working temperature, while bedrooms can be kept slightly cooler for sleeping. At the same time, living rooms, bathrooms and entrances can be kept slightly warmer.

 In commercial buildings and factories, Radiant Floor Heating increases productivity and helps reduce health problems associated with working on cold, damp floors. In barns you won't have any drafts and the floors will be warm and dry. In nursing homes and hospitals, the warm floors mean the highest comfort for the occupants. Management of course enjoys the low fuel costs and minimal maintenance associated with radiant heating and Viessmann boilers. With Radiant Floor Heating water is used to carry heat. Water is one of the best conductors of heat; it can be circulated positively and its temperatures can be accurately controlled so you get a more even heat with less temperature fluctuations.
