How does under-floor heating work?
Primary Heat® is based on innovative heating ribbon technology. A crystalline metal alloy replaces the traditional electrical heating elements, achieving outstanding energy efficiency, safety, flexible installation and maintenance-free long life. The result is an unobtrusive in-floor heating system that provides quick and evenly distributed natural warmth, exactly where it is needed at any time. Because the crystalline ribbons are extremely thin and have no mass in which to store the heat, the generated heat is released immediately, transferring almost 100% of the power it uses into heat. Primary Heat® under-floor heating mats when laid cover around 25% to 30% of the total floor area, compared to around 2% when using traditional cable under-floor heating systems. This allows the installation to operate at a lower temperature of around 30ºC providing a more comfortable warmth. As each room is controlled by its own programmable thermostat, it is easy to control which rooms are heated at
