Radiant Floor Heat
|
Radiant floor heating has been known for centuries as one of the most effective heating methods for efficiently keeping people comfortable. Radiant floor heat warms by putting you directly in contact with the heat source and providing gentle, even warmth to an entire room. Consider that with a forced air system, the difference between the temperature at the floor and at the ceiling can be as much 15 degrees. With a radiant system from GMCI, the difference in temperature can be as little as two degrees. There are numerous other benefits to a radiant floor heating system.
And you also have flexibility of installation for either new construction or retrofit. It used to be that radiant floor heating was only installed in concrete sub floors, but with Viega's patented Climate Panel system, you can enjoy the comfort and energy savings of radiant floor heat under virtually any floor covering. And you may have special applications where a heated wall is required. This can efficiently be accomplished with Viega Climate Panels. |

| There is a lot more to a successful radiant system than a little bit of tubing in the floor. It takes highly engineered controls, manifolds, mixing stations and fittings all working together to create a radiant heating system. These sophisticated components function as a system to provide the right amount of heat in the right places at the right time. For example, both the Basic Heating Control and the Advanced Heating Control modulate the temperature of water in the system as the outdoor temperature changes. A mixing station mixes cold and hot water to make sure it is the right temperature when it goes out to certain sections of the floor. Viega offers a variety of different manifolds - these control the supply and return of water to the lines (pipe) that run under the floor. | |

A recent and growing trend has been Green Building. Green Building is a construction standard that can help conserve the earth's resources while reducing energy use requirements. GMCI can help you go Green with a Viega ProRadiant System. This advanced heat distribution system is compatible with high efficiency technologies like condensing boilers, geothermal and solar. Because of there being less air movement and a relatively higher humidity, air movement is reduced which helps to reduce the amount of dust and allergens. Energy efficiency is greatly enhanced as heat loss is minimized through windows, doors and the ceiling. Furthermore, because ProRadiant is a sealed system, there is virtually no loss of heat as it is distributed throughout your home.
