WHAT IS RADIANT HEAT?
The THERMOFILM radiant floor heating system installed in your home is the most efficient electric heating
system available today. The THERMOFILM system installed directly below your floor, gently warms the
objects and people in the room. These surfaces include walls, windows, floors and ceilings. These surfaces
then gently warm the surrounding air, creating more natural warmth with minimal floor to ceiling
temperature variation. This means that the air temperature can be lowered in the room while still
maintaining comfort level – this results in a reduction in heating bills over other forms of electric heating
systems.
This Installation Manual is provided to help you understand how your heating system works and therefore
how to operate it to maximum efficiency.
The THERMOFILM™ underfloor heating system works just like the sun. The heating elements warm the
floor surface which then emits energy in the form of infrared heat. This is the same type of heat you feel
when out on a sunny but cool spring day. Although the air temperature is cool the infra-red rays from the
sun keep you warm.
An THERMOFILM™ radiant heating system is the most efficient form of heat distribution available. The
radiant heat is in the form of Infra-red energy radiant throughout the room. The objects and occupants are
heated first and then gently warm the surrounding air. As the body of air in the room is not overheated
