More Efficient Bathroom Heating Solutions

December 02, 2008 00:12 AM  BY  STUART TAYLOR

The use of a bathroom can be responsible for a significant amount of your utility bills year-round. Bathroom heating is one such energy consideration because you want the heat quickly, but for only a short period of time. Therefore traditional forced air heating systems for a bathroom can be very inefficient, and waste a lot of energy.  However, SunTouch ® provides a solution to this in their radiant heating products.  Radiant heat can make you feel comfortably warm without having to heat all the air in the bathroom.

SunTouch radiant heating provides a unique transfer of energy that naturally searches out colder objects to warm. Instead of rising like warm air, radiant heat starts by warming the coldest and closest objects from its source. This is why radiant heating systems are generally placed under floors. If you have ever strolled barefoot along the beach on a sunny day and felt the warm sand underneath your feet, or held a warm mug, then you have felt radiant heat. Objects absorb radiant heat until they are the same temperature as the heat source, after which the heat slowly escapes to other areas that are colder, such as the air, etc.

Not only will radiant heat save you in heating costs in areas like your bathrooms, which only need heat for short periods of time.  But, they also increase the comfort level of these rooms because they keep concentrate the heat in the areas that are generally the coolest, such as tile floors, etc.  Imagine being able to step out of the shower onto a warm floor this winter.  These are only a few of the benefits of a radiant heating system. To find out the other benefits of radiant heat, contact SunTouch today.

Open up almost any home decorating magazine and you’re likely to see photo after photo of gorgeous hardwood, marble, and tiled floors. The floors look so beautiful in the photos that you may even find yourself thinking how nice those floors would look in your home. That is until you remember about how cold it can be to walk on such floors in the wintertime. But did you know that this is precisely why so many homeowners are choosing SunTouch radiant heating systems to warm up their floors.

The installation of SunTouch ® radiant heating is not new.  Quite contrary, heated floors have been installed under bathroom and kitchen tile for the past 10 years in the U.S.  And, these heating products continue to gain popularity. Many in the kitchen and bath industry expect radiant floor heating products, such as those offered by SunTouch, to continue to play a big role among homeowners who crave comfort features.

In addition to providing warmth, these new floor heating mats are energy efficient. This is because the floor heating is located under the carpet or floating wood and over the foam pad, it provides additional insulation from the cold sub-floor, which reduces heat loss, and maximizes efficiency and comfort.
