radiant floor

Warm underfoot system

A radiant floor is a heating system with pipes or electric elements embedded beneath the floor surface, warming the room from below.

Heat radiates upward through the flooring material rather than being blown through vents: We installed radiant floor heating in the bathroom.

The system provides even warmth and eliminates drafts.
