The ancients used it in their homes and bath houses, heating their marble and tile floors, while Frank Lloyd Wright used copper piping in his homes, with a few postwar subdivisions implementing it as well. Subfloor heating has been around from the ancient Romans and Turks to Frank Lloyd Wright. There are a number of homes in the Olympia, WA, area enjoying the benefits of radiant floor heating. Even though the air temperature remains the same, these objects are warmed and, therefore, not stealing heat from your body. As the waves of thermal radiation rise from below, they warm any objects they touch in the room, which then in turn radiate that heat. Radiant floor heating has the feel of standing in a window on a sunny cold day with the sun warming you, without the sun needing to warm the outside air. It’s not drafty, without duct work, registers, and returns involved. Since the heat actually emanates from the floor, it is efficient and quiet, without blowing allergens throughout a home’s air. The same can be achieved with radiant floor heating.Radiant floor heating can be called the silent hero of home heating.

Zoning is the practice of heating your home in a series of zones, or areas that have been selected for their usage and patterns for instance you can zone your home into sleeping areas and living areas and have the heating settings customized for when and how you use those areas of your home. This is an effective and efficient way of keeping your floors warm, and the indoor air temperature a comfortable level. As heat rises, it more effectively warms the air in the home from the ground up. Radiant heat systems take advantage of water’s insulation properties by warming a batch of water through the use of a boiler, geothermal heat pump, or even a solar water heater, and then that warmed water gets pumped through the floors of your home warming the ground beneath your feet. The element water is actually a much better insulator than air – think of using hot water bags to warm yourself. Why water? Air itself is not a very good insulator, which is why we use air conditioners and heaters to “condition” the air in our homes to be more comfortable.
