Down tnru the history, man has searched for ways to make his home more comfortable. From the history of heating,from the cave man , to our C.M Element.

His way to comfort had two objectives:

Reduce the temperature the heat source and increase  the size of  the source.

All to deliver the heat energy  to the necessary to raise the temperture to the comfort in the space.

Radiant  Ceiling Heating - It  is  Simply  Soothing !

By Tim Carter                         July 20,1998   

Next winter you are going to be snug as a bug in a rug. Hydronic radiant heating is not new by any means. It is just a fancy word for any system that uses water to deliver heat. Radiant heating systems have been used for thousands of years. Anyone who has warmed themselves in a cave or a room with a fire  has felt  the natural warmth of radiant energy.  Romans used a primitive radiant heating system to warm public and private baths. Your parents most likely dried their snow packed gloves on the top of  steam or hot water radiators. Radiant heating is not a fad. It is reliable and simply superb.

There are numerous advantages to using radiant heating. It is a known fact that radiant heating systems produce higher and more consistent comfort levels than a force air system.  You can also easily create zones within your house. Electronic controls allow you to send heat to only those portions of the house that you occupy during the course of the day and night.

Even though your new house will have a speific heat loss that can be measured, tests over the years have shown that radiant or hydronically heated houses tend to have lower energy bills. The fans that push heated  air in a force air system pressuize  the inside of a house. Heated air in certain  instances can actually be pushed out of tiny cracks and holes in exterior walls and ceilings. Force air systems tend to create layers of heat in rooms. Temperatures between the floor and ceiling can vary by more than 15degrees.Houses heated with radiant systems tend to have uniform temperatures throughtout each room.
