Radiant heating uses a warm surface to transfer heat to individuals and into a space rather than moving heated air. Although the air is warmed, the majority of the heat travels through the air and warms other surfaces, similar to a light shining on a wall. This natural heat transfer is both comfortable and energy efficient. Using electricity directly to heat a radiant "panel" is becoming popular.

A "dry" installation involves installing the hydronic and electric radiant heating systems under the sub floor between the joists or over the sub floor between two layers of plywood. A 2-inch (50-mm) minimum air gap is required. Reflective insulation should be installed under the heating product to direct the heat upward.
Self-regulating elements can be sandwiched between the insulation and the floor covering. Definitely avoid air gaps. Where reflective foil is used, place the aluminum side away from the heating elements
