| Radiant heat is widely regarded as the most
comfortable, healthy, and natural heating process available.
Radiant heat works in the same way Mother Nature does in heating
us. Fringe benefits are the absence of UV rays and a system
over which you have complete regulation. With radiant heat,
cold drafts and dry air are eradicated. And since there is
no forced-air system, dust, allergens, air contaminants, and
bacteria are eliminated as well. With radiant heat, your body
will feel warmer even though actual air temperature may be
cooler - this translates into decreased energy consumption
and energy bills.
Radiant heat is a concept that has been in use
for over a thousand years. The Romans used in-floor radiant
heat to heat their villas. (I'm sure they would have preferred
radiant windows, but my father-in-law didn't invent them until
1986!) Why haven't we heard much about it here in the United
States?
You've heard people say don't mess with a good
thing, right? This is the best way to explain why radiant
has taken 20 years longer to win the hearts of Americans.
We Americans have always said that when you have a good thing
going, there's no need to fuss with it. The reality is that
in this case, it's just not true. With our natural resources
being depleted and the cost of those resources on a steady
incline, we have got to open our hearts and minds to alternatives.
The reality is that there are options out there. In fact,
research shows that the radiant heat option is actually better
than what we have been clinging on to for dear life so long.
These articles are in no way affiliated with
IQ Glass™ or the Glorieux Family. In fact, many will
refer to the radiant heating products of our competitors.
That's okay though. We are confident in what we offer and
provide these articles solely for your benefit. They will
help educate you as to what radiant heat is and what its benefits
are. Although radiant systems will vary, the fact that they
use radiant heat is the consistent. How radiant heating works
is the essential principle. Our website will explain just
why radiant windows are superior to other radiant heating
systems.
Believe me, once you learn about radiant heat,
and moreover, actually experience it, you'll never go back.
There is nothing like it. Radiant is the way of the future.
We are proud to bring you such a wonderful,
environmentally-conscientious, energy-efficient product!
