How Underfloor Heating Manifolds Work

A recent trend, radiant heating systems are made up of underfloor heating manifolds. The system effectively lets the floor act as a radiator to heat your home.

In fact, the original radiant heat manifolds were used by ancient civilizations. Hot air is sent from furnaces through a network of small ducts under the floor, and in turn, the hot air circulating underneath will centrally heat the room.

Today's underfloor heating manifolds work in two ways. The wet type of heating manifold uses hot water which runs through pipes under the floor. The dry type uses electric, natural gas or fuel power to generate heat through underfloor pipes.

Benefits of Underfloor Heating Manifolds

Compared to other types of central heating systems, the underfloor heating manifold is a much simpler system. It can also evenly heat the area, unlike other types which can only heat the air in the room but leave the floor and objects icy cold. Thus, you feel more comfort with radiant underfloor heating systems.

Underfloor heating is also more economical to operate. Costs are about 40% lower than conventional heating systems. Each room has independent sets of heating manifolds, so that it is possible to have different temperatures in ach room of your home. Unlike central heating systems, you can selectively turn on underfloor heating manifolds so that you use less electricity.

The underfloor heating manifold is also safely hidden away and does not interfere with your home's interior, unlike radiators and thermal heating systems which have unsightly vents.

Moisture content of underfloor heating systems are too low to attract dust mites. You will prevent asthma or allergy attacks in your home from dust mites.

The entire underfloor heating system does not generate any noise, adding more comfort to your home.

Installing the Underfloor Heating Manifold

You can search for companies that can install the entire underfloor heating system for you. Heating engineers need to inspect your home before they can prepare cost estimates and plans for installing your radiant heating system.
