Features and Benefits
- Superior Heating Comfort with a gentle, even temperature from floor to ceiling.
- A fraction of the cost of tubing (hydronic) and ground source heat pump systems.
- Allergen friendly – greatly reduces airborne allergens and dust.
- Energy Savings – Most energy efficient heating system on the market today.
- With no moving parts, ThermaRay’s Radiant Heating System is also quiet, maintenance free and easy to install.
How It Works
As sure as the sun shines, radiant heat is something with which we are all familiar. Think of the way the world is warmed – a direct transference of heat from object to object, without fans, pumps or hoses – silent, motionless and invisible.
A ThermaRay environment works exactly the same way. Unlike conventional heating, our system automatically warms people and objects first, not the air, just as the sun does. Radiant rays, like light rays travel in straight lines and radiant rays travel naturally from warmer objects to cooler objects. The cooler surfaces act like magnets to the warmth. ThermaRay’s Radiant Heating System generates this type of heat and comfort; warmth is gently radiated to the objects in the room like walls, floor, furniture and most importantly You!
Let’s Get Technical!
For over 30 years ThermaRay has been manufacturing the Radiant Heating Systems with a stellar track record of millions of installed systems with no failures. The Radiant Heating System panels consist of a Teflon coated nichrome conductor wire embedded in a gypsum board and then wired together with a 12 gauge direct bury wire. Installed under 4″ – 8″ of fill medium and underneath a concrete floor creates the most comfortable and economical heating systems available today.
The Floor Heat system is charged (energized) and the ground and the concrete slab become an efficient, thermal mass of energy. The principle is the along the same lines as the earth and it’s core. Heat transfers from hot to cold, so the stored energy is only released when the area above it becomes cooler than the thermal mass. The heat remains where it is until it is needed and there is no wasted energy.
The Radiant Heating System is protected from mechanical harm, corrosive chemicals and moisture. Even the most hazardous areas can be safely and economically heated.
