How Does Underfloor Heating Work?

Most commonly, underfloor heating, otherwise known as radiant floor heating, works by way of electrical heat. Electric radiant floors operate by putting down heat-conducting plastic mats into the mortar bed of a floor. These mats contain electrical coils that heat up, and the heat produced by these coils then radiates up into your floors. The air closest to the floor is also warmed by this process, and rises to warm up the rest of the room.

Radiant Floor Heating Options

Helton Electric LLC heated floors are compatible with the majority of flooring options, and there are various kinds of flooring selections that are available to go on top of heated floors in your Lake of the Ozarks home. Generally, for best results it is suggested not to use heated flooring under hardwood, as it will heat the wood thereby drying the wood out, and can result in a lot of shrinking and cracking in the wood. For best results we suggest the following flooring options:

  • Ceramic tile
  • Low-pile carpet
  • Laminate
  • Natural stone
  • Vinyl

Why Choose In-Floor Heating?

Underfloor heating is not only a great option because it keeps your feet warm in the colder seasons. It is also a cost and energy efficient way of heating your home. In-floor heating provides evenly dispersed heat throughout a room virtually eliminating any and all cold spots within your home. Because of the even distribution of heat it is more efficient than conventional baseboard or radiator heating systems. In-floor heating can also be a great option for people who suffer acutely from airborne allergens, as radiant heat does not circulate allergens the same way that forced air systems do.

Key Benefits of In-Floor Heating

While heated flooring has a tendency to be viewed as a luxury item, it is surprisingly affordable. As it is so economical there is no reason why you cannot have it in your own home.
