Infrared Floor Heating Installation

Typical panel sizes are between 2 by 2 and 2 by 6 feet the total project price for installation and materials is 300 to 1 400 per room.

Infrared floor heating installation.

The whole floor area. Infrared under floor heating runs at much lower temperatures than radiators due to the fact that its heating source is released from a much greater floor area i e. A damp proof membrane is required as the first layer to prevent damp and condensation issues caused between the warm heating surface of the floor and the cold lower surface. The price of radiant ceiling panels is 50 to 60 per square foot with lower voltage and wattage versions being the cheapest one to 2 panels per room is sufficient and it takes 1 to 3 hours to install per room.

Because of this it is much more comfortable your feet are warm and your upper body is warmed at a comfortable temperature rate and very importantly at a. When the panel is positioned on the wall or ceiling the infrared radiation will travel at 45 o angles in all directions. If they are in a corner and too close to a wall other than the one they are attached to then you will be warming a small concentrated area. Even thou the average energy consumption of both infrared and hydronic systems are very close when put side by side the initial cost of installation of the hydronic systems and maintenance is much much higher.

The distribution of infrared heater rays. This is not ideal since you will be wasting potentially useful heat.
