Our radiant floor heating systems
offer the following benefits over
traditional forced air and other
hydronic systems:
Comfort
Radiant floor heating is the
only heating system that gives
you a room temperature curve
that matches the Ideal Heating
Curve for the human body. (see
illustration to right)
Efficiency
Radiant utilizes the entire floor to
heat the room environment. This
allows for lower water supply
temperatures resulting in increased
energy efficiency.
Versatility
Viega systems can be installed
in new construction and existing
homes, over wood or concrete;
or installed inside or outside
the home.
Adds value to the home
Installing Viega ProRadiant heating
systems in slab or basement
applications turns cold, damp
areas into warm, cozy living spaces.
Easier to maintain
No filters or ducts to clean.
Healthier
No dry air blowing dust or
allergens throughout the home.
Quieter
No fans or blowers required.
Better heat retention
Less heat loss while opening doors
or windows and through walls
and ceilings.
Zoning ability
Viega ProRadiant heating systems
provide room-to-room temperature
control, allowing you to heat only
the rooms you are using.
Decorating freedom
Without vents, radiators or cold
air returns, you can put furniture
where you want it.
ProRadiant Systems are the most
efficient way to heat your home.
Besides providing a more
comfortable environment, radiant
heating is more energy efficient
than traditional forced air heating
systems. For most homes, energy
requirements range from 10 to
30 percent less than with forced
air systems.
Our ProRadiant heating systems
direct heat to the interior of
the room to greatly reduce the
temperature loss through windows,
doors, walls and ceilings.
Viega’s ProRadiant heating systems …
the closest thing to perfect heat.
“Ideal”
Heating
Eye level
The ideal pattern shows
warm floors, slightly cooler
temperatures at eye level and
cool areas near the ceiling.
Viega
ProRadiant
Creates warm floor heat,
which cools slightly at
eye level just like
“ideal” heating.
Forced air is nearly the opposite
of “ideal” heating.
Forced air heat results in cold floors and overheated ceilings.
Heat is also lost through windows, doors and ceilings
