The heat produced from Underfloor heating or wall heating comprises of 70% radiant Heat and 30% convection heat. Conventional systems mainly provide convection heat which circulates through the air that surrounds objects in a building. Radiant heat, heats objects & the general fabric of the building, including people, just like the sun heats objects on the earth's surface. Underfloor heating eliminates uncomfortable hot or cold air flows around a room and gives even comfortable heating.
