Underfloor heatingConsists of loops of plastic pipe (garden hose pipe sized) that allow the flow of water supplied by theheat generator. Buried within the floor of the living space.Different heatemitter types.The positivesand the negativesThis includes all hydronic radiators (e.g. panel, LST, decorative and towel rails).PositivesNegatives> Familiar / accepted solution.> Larger radiator sizes with higheroutputs can be heavy.> Easy to specify and install(not technically demanding).> Good availability.> Reliable.> Easy to use.> Durable / long life.cannot be seenNegatives> R equires floor substrate preparation tocontain the loops of piping.> Takes a long time to both heat and allow livingspace to cool. Can be uncomfortably warmunderfoot.> Floor coverings will reduce performance.>D ifficult to install on anything but theground floor.> C an be more expensive than a traditionalpanel radiator systemDirect electric (electric radiator)As a panel radiator except that there is no central heating system. Each radiator contains a heatedmedium (water or oil) and an electric heating element.Positives>N o pipes - is easy to installRadiator (hydronic)> Wide range – suits majority ofapplications / needs.Positives> U nobtrusive – the emitter (loops of piping)(not technically demanding).Negatives> P erformance limited due to small size ofelectric heating element.> R equires electrical socket near radiator.> P rimary fuel cost (electricity) is a significantbarrier.Direct electric (radiant panel)A flat panel that is directly heated by an electric element.Positives>U nobtrusive - panels are hidden from siteNegatives> P erformance limited due to small size ofelectric heating element.> P rimary fuel cost (electricity) is a significantbarrier.> C onsumer discomfort – only heated on thebody part facing the radiant panel.Ready for the future.
