Radiant Floor Warming

From Heatizon Systems

Generally, a residence or business will use a forced air system to heat rooms within the structure. This system operates by warming the air in a room, which then transfers heat to the objects it touches. This is very inefficient because the majority of the warm air will rise before it heats any objects, resulting in the top part of the room being warmer than the rest of the room.
A radiant floor warming system is much more efficient in heating a room. A radiant floor warming system is installed directly under most floor coverings. The floor and objects are heated directly, rather than through the air. A radiant floor warming system provides uniform heat throughout a room and offers comfort at lower temperatures.

Coil Heaters and Cable Heaters
Coil heaters and cable heaters are heating elements formed from straight (uncoiled) segments of round or square heating cable.
Industrial Heaters
This is a general search form for all types of industrial heaters, devices which are available in a variety of sizes, shapes, and heating configurations.
Radiant Heaters
Radiant heaters use a reflective shield to direct radiant heat onto a heated surface.
Electric Heaters
Electric heaters generate heat by passing an electric current through a high-resistance material.
Tubular Heaters
Tubular heaters are generally used in custom heating applications. Base (tubular) heating elements can be bent into standard or custom shapes.
