How quickly can a radiant floor heating system warm a house?
Radiant floor heating systems can vary significantly in how quickly they respond from a cold start. For example, the Ultra-Fin Radiant Floor Heating System™ responds very quickly compared to concrete slab radiant floor heating systems. Concrete slab systems can take up to a day to reach operating temperature, due to the fact that they must heat the large thermal mass of concrete before occupants experience any heat. By contrast, the heat from Ultra-Fin™ moves through standard wood frame floor systems very quickly, simply because the heat has no where else to go, and there is no concrete blocking the heat’s path.
