Electric radiant heat
Locations for electric radiant heat:
1. Floors; electric elements are embedded or applied to the floor
beneath the floor covering.
2. Walls; manufactured finished panels are mounted to the wall in
variety of sizes and shapes including towel warmers.
3. Ceilings; electric elements are embedded in the ceiling or
manufactured panels are mounted to or hung from the surface of the
ceiling.
4. Sidewalks and Driveways; electric elements are embedded in or under
concrete or asphalt.
• Electric cables and flexible heating films convert electrical power
into heat and require a thermal mass or an air gap to spread out the
heat. Since the power generated is fixed, temperatures are controlled by
on/off thermostats and floor sensors, creating differential temperature
changes in the floor.
• Self-regulating elements are made of a semi-conductive material, which
acts as a sensor; the heat output increases as the temperature decreases
and conversely, the
Heat output decreases as the temperature increases. The self-regulating
element comes as a mat and can be placed directly under the floor
covering because it cannot overheat.
