Radiant Floor Heating

Radiant Floor Heating (RFH)
is a quality heat distribution system that delivers efficient, uniform heat by circulating hot water through tubes installed beneath the floor.

RFH offers several advantages over conventional heating
methods including:

Efficiency:

RFH heats objects and occupants, not air, so people are comfortable at lower thermostat settings.

RFH produces even temperatures throughout a room, eliminating heat buildup at the ceiling and along the outside walls where it is most likely to escape.

RFH offers Temperature Zone Controls which can reduce the amount of heat flowing to unused rooms.

Comfort:

RFH distributes even, draft free heat throughout an entire floor, providing the ideal heat profile; warm feet at a cooler body level.

RFH eliminates the need for fans and blowers, resulting in a quieter environment and minimizing dust and pollen in the air, important for people with allergies.


Forced Air Heating	Theoretically Ideal Heating	Underfloor Heating
As the graphs show, the ideal heating situation is created by warming the room from floor level upward. Radiant Floor Heating achieves this condition with a minimum level of energy output. Result: warm feet, cool head, high comfort and maximum efficiency.

Flexibility:

RFH systems can be installed in many types of floors including:

Under lightweight concrete over wood sub-floors
Under wood floors
Under wood over wood sub-floors
Within concrete slabs

RFH can be used with most types of floor covering and hot water heat sources.

Specific Applications Include:

Apartments
Barns
Day Nurseries
Greenhouses
Hospitals
Prisons
Residential Homes
Schools
Stores
Theaters

Banks
Churches
Garages
Gymnasiums
Offices
Oil Change Facilities
Retirement Homes
Shopping Malls
Supermarkets
Warehouses

The following THAW-PAK system is shown with a *Raypak Type H Boiler, Air-X Tank,
circulating pump, modulating gas valve and controls leading to
efficient system operation


Temperature Zone Controls are integrated in single or multiple manifolds which can reduce the amount of heat flowing to unused rooms


*THAW-Pak can also be used with other heat sources and fuel types	RFH systems can be installed in many types of floors including: • lightweight concrete over wood sub-floors • under wood floors • wood over wood sub-floors • within concrete slabs
