Discreet heat
The buildings that are currently constructed, both residential and designed for business activity, are continuously better insulated and, consequently, they require less and less heating energy. At the same time, users’ expectations as for maintaining a friendly microclimate in their environment have grown significantly. And so did the range of alternative sources of heat.
In the course of detailed designing of modern interiors and perfect planing of their functions, the designers more and more often face a significant dilemma: how to heat a room? Where to place radiators – even the smallest ones? The heating, indeed, is indispensable, and any place on the wall planned for the heaters seems a waste. Moreover, that element of the interior, forced upon the designer, can ruin the effect of the perfectly designed whole. Floor heating is normally considered as an alternative. However, the application of floor heating is not possible everywhere. Floor heating has extreme thermal inertia, which is its significant disadvantage. The users do not always receive a required amount of heat when they need it and, what is more, floor heating is not very useful in the transitional autumn – spring season or in the periods when heating is needed from time to time. Health-related reasons: cardiovascular diseases, susceptibility to allergies or joint conditions, also disqualify the use of such heating. It is not recommended to stay long in the rooms heated by use of floor heating. Floor heating cannot be used with parquets or floor panelling either, as those materials have high thermal resistance.
When the use of wall-mounted radiator is not possible and there are contradictions to use floor heating, radiators installed in floor recesses become another possible option.
In addition, in the rooms of very big cubic capacity, where floor heating has been installed already because of the absence of any contradictions, canal heat exchangers can support the heating process actively as a heat curtain located along the external walls or as a heating unit quickly responding to a cold snap. Regulus floor heaters can heat the room almost instantly after being switched on. Canal heaters can be fed as the first ones in the same system as floor heating.
The heaters placed in the floor recesses offer a perfect protection for the interior against cold next to terrace doors, balcony doors, under large glazed surfaces, in winter gardens, entrance enclosures, lacings, etc., everywhere where there is no space on the wall for a standard central heating radiator.
The Regulus heating canal system proves to be very effective in office entrances and halls, sports facilities, mainly sports halls and swimming pools, in commercial units, exhibition centres or production buildings, namely in all places where exterior doors can be opened frequently or where we wish to avoid steaming up of window panes.
