What is a thermal mass and why do I need it?
A properly constructed radiant heating system utilizes a thermal mass to store and release radiant energy into the room. Generally the thermal mass is stone or concrete type material that accepts and retains radiant energy. In earlier times, pioneers warmed stones in fireplaces and placed them under blankets to provide warmth. Radiant systems without a thermal mass are inherently less efficient than those with the thermal mass. EasyFloor Radiant Warmth the Right Way is designed to support appropriate thermal mass product.
