Radiant floor heating is a system that warms a room by heating the floor itself. This is typically achieved through electric heating cables or hot water tubes installed beneath the floor surface. As the floor heats up, it radiates warmth into the room, providing a comfortable and even temperature. This heating method is energy-efficient and can reduce heating costs compared to traditional systems. It is often used in homes, especially in bathrooms and basements, where cold floors can be uncomfortable. Radiant floor heating can be installed in various flooring types, including tile, wood, and carpet.
