Have you ever heard of heated flooring? To be quite honest about it, I never really knew there was such a thing as heated floors.
That is until recently anyway.
Recently, though, I have discovered that there is indeed a type of heating called heated flooring. For the most part, heated floors are not intended to be your sole means of heating in your home or office. Rather, heated floors should supplement the central heating and cooling or other furnace that you might be currently using to heat your dwelling. The reason I really like heated flooring is that it makes sense to me. I learned as a youngster that hot air rises. I’m pretty sure every kid in every school across the country learns this basic fact of science. Hot air tends to rise. That being the case, it makes sense to start your heating as low as possible to get the most advantage of the heated air before it is located up near the ceiling. I think it makes a lot of sense to look into getting heated floors. My main motivation is that I dislike forced air heating. That’s the kind of heating that blows hot air through the vents. I have Central Heating and Cooling, which is the most popular thing in this neck of the woods. I don’t know anybody who does not have Central Heating and Cooling. The thing is, when I use the furnace from time to time in the winter, it tends to dry out my skin and give me sinus headaches. Plus, the vents are way up in the ceiling. That means the hot-air has to be blasted out and still it’s not going to get down very far very quickly because hot air rises.
