Results for tag: "Hydronic Underfloor Heating"

Hydronic underfloor heating, also known as radiant floor heating, is a system that provides indoor climate control for thermal comfort using conduction, radiation, and convection. It falls under the heating component of HVAC, offering an alternative to forced-air central heating systems. This type of heating involves running warm water through pipes or tubing laid in the floor, which heats the surface of the floor evenly and radiates warmth throughout the room. Hydronic systems are often lauded for their energy efficiency, as water is a better medium for transporting heat than air, leading to less energy loss. These systems are compatible with various types of flooring and can be powered by a range of energy sources including boilers and heat pumps. The design flexibility allows for zone-specific heating, adding to user convenience and efficiency. The hydronic underfloor heating market consists of several companies that specialize in manufacturing, installing, and servicing these systems. Notable companies in this sector include Uponor, a provider of plumbing and indoor climate solutions; REHAU, known for its advanced polymer-based systems; Danfoss, which offers energy-efficient heating solutions; Watts Water Technologies, specializing in innovative water solutions; and Warmup, a company offering a wide range of electric and hydronic underfloor heating systems. These and other players contribute to a competitive and diverse market catering to residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Show Less Read more
