Radiant heat is one of the purest and healthiest forms of heating. It works in a similar way to the sun – sending out longwave rays that reach every corner of the room, without disturbing the air flow – ideal for allergy sufferers.

Radiant heating is a heating technology. An example of heating by radiant energy is the warmth of sunshine.

Radiant heating is a replacement for conventional convection heating.

Radiant heating heats a building through radiant heat, rather than other conventional methods such as radiators (mostly convection heating).

The internal air temperature in radiant heated buildings may be lower than that of a conventionally heated building but still achieves the same level of body comfort.

The radiant heating systems can be divided into:

• Underfloor heating systems—electric or hydronic
• Wall heating systems
• Radiant ceiling panels
