Suntouch - A Modern Day Leader in Radiant Heating

Believe it or not, under floor heaters were first used by the Romans. While under floor heating was initially reserved for the rich, it eventually became increasingly commonplace in public buildings and villas. This form of radiant heating was used particularly in the colder regions of the Roman Empire. The Roman system was based on hypocausts, comprising ducts that underlay the floor (itself built on raised brick piles) and flues that were built into walls. Hot air or steam from fires circulated up through this system, warming the floor and walls, with heat passing into the rooms.

Today we recognize the brilliance of the Romans and Koreans as early adopters of radiant heating. Years later, radiant heaters are still a desired method for delivering comfortable and efficient heat in our homes. Suntouch, a leader in radiant heating, offers radiant heaters that use electric resistance cables that are constructed of highly rated materials and carry warranties up to 25 years.

If you’re looking for efficient, comfortable heat for your home, radiant heating could the solution you’ve been looking for. For more information about the many different forms of radiant heaters, contact the staff at Suntouch.
