Warm floors in cold mornings are something you can experience with under-tile heating. While carpeted floors are easy to walk on in the chilly months, surfaces like wood and tile are freezing. Under-tile heating not only warms your floors, making them more comfortable, but also is an effective way to heat your home as a whole. When you have Snow Melt Utah come out to install under-tile heating, the heat in your home will be more evenly distributed, resulting in energy savings and a home that feels warmer and more comfortable than with conventional heating systems.
Why Use Radiant Heating?
Conventional heating relies on pushing heated air through ducts and vents. This can lead to uneven heating, some parts of your home being warmer than others, and higher energy bills if your system cycles or you need to turn it up high in order to bring your home to a comfortable temperature. Radiant heating is installed underneath your tiles, radiating heat upwards through them. This allows the heat to be evenly distributed throughout the room.
Under-tile heating is also installed room by room, so you can set each room to the exact temperature you need. Under-tile heating saves you money, since it’s more efficient, and it provides a quiet, invisible source of heat in your home. Radiant heating produces the same effect as standing in the sun. As such, you’ll feel warm even with the thermostat set at a lower temperature, since under-tile heating works with the human body.
Benefits Of Under-Tile Heating
This concept of heating your home from the floor up may seem like just the latest trend, but under tile heating systems have been around since the era of the Roman Empire. They would use complex systems to heat their floors, and ergo, their homes. With all the benefits of under-tile heating, it’s no wonder that this heating method has withstood the test of time, getting more refined as humans learn and grow.
There are many benefits to under tile heating systems. Some of which are as follows:
#1. Tile Is A Perfect Conduit
While radiant heating systems can be installed under many different types of flooring, tile is ideal. This is because it isn’t affected by moisture or heat, is thin, and its mineral composition is wonderful for conducting heat. Under-tile heating systems are particularly effective for heating your home because tile itself lends itself so well to the system.
#2. It’s More Efficient
Under-tile heating systems provide superior heating to your home, as the heat rises evenly across your floors, which creates a consistent temperature. There’s no need to worry about cold spots with under-tile heating.
#3. Improve Your Air Quality
Traditional heating systems need air ducts to push heated air through and to ventilate your home with. When these ducts get dirty, your heating system can end up circulating dust, allergens, and polluted air through your home. Under-tile heating systems work by heating the tubing installed under your tiles, which then heats your floors, then your rooms. There’s no risk of dirty ducts causing poor interior air quality with under-tile heating systems.
#4. It’s Quiet And Easy
You don’t need to clean ducts with under-tile heating systems, nor do you need to hear it when it starts up. Under-tile heating makes heating your home a quiet, easy, low-maintenance process.
