Advantages

What are the advantages of radiant heating with respect to convection heating?
1) It provides superior comfort with a consistently uniform temperature across the surfaces by avoiding the layering of hot air above and the resulting “uncomfortable feeling” that comes from an overheated head.
2) It does not create air currents that raise dust, ensuring a healthier environment.
3) It eliminates the need for space-eating radiators and fan coils.
4) It allows for energy savings because it provides the same comfort level at a lower temperature.

What are the advantages of Thermatile®? (with respect to normal hydronic radiant heating)
1) Substantially reduced gauge, about 4 mm
2) Lower cost of the system
3) Fast, easy and low installation cost (it can be installed by the tile layer)
4) Maintenance free
5) No water circulating in the walls or floors meaning no leaks
6) No space-eating boilers, flues, or chimneys
7) It doesn’t use natural gas, which isn’t available everywhere, or any other fuel, eliminating the risks involved with gas use, as well as the need to deal with the gas company
8) Heats faster because it is placed directly below the floor or wall surface
9) Intelligent management through an easy to use control panel or programmable thermostat: by zone, with temperature adjustment during the day/week, with occasional use, etc.
10) It can be used as a supplement to traditional heating systems for increased comfort (“warmer in the bathroom” effect), as well as be set on a schedule and be used outside of the hourly and daily schedule of central heating systems, etc.
