Systems comparison - Advantages

There are no convection motions like in other traditional radiator or convector fan systems, as the transfer of heat takes place by radiation, consequently there is no raising of dust.

From the point of view of environmental well-being the system with radiating panels, raising tha average radiating temperature, allows lower environment air temperatures compared with traditional heating systems (radiators ane convector fans), resulting in energy saving. Indeed it has been proved that lowering the room temperature by just one degree obtains a 5-7% saving.

In addition, raising the average radiating temperature prevents the risks of condensation of steam on the walls ane furniture, thus damage to them.

The termal inertia of the floor radiating system in considered as a negative cause of the system itself, in fact, if we compare the insulation of the building covering, the thermal inertia ane intermittent operation, it is possible to observe how the energy spent to obtain the same room temperature value un an intermittent system is extremely higher than a continuous system, the most influent parameter in the mass, which is the product of the resistance by the capacity.
Increasing the mass of the floor and insulating it from downward dispersions, with tha radiating system it is possible to minimise energy consumption while keeping it on all the time.

Owing to the low operating temperatures, the "APE therm" system makes better use of environment-friendly energy sources, such as solar panels, geothermal heat pumps and condensing boilers, making it possible to combine alternative sources with the radiating systems, enabling savings on costs of around 30%, besides reducing carbon monoxide emissions, and there by protecting the environment.
These products fully reflect the guidelines of the new law by decree 311 of 2006.
System maintenance cpsts pratically do not exist, in fact, radiating systems last longer than traditional systems.
Another no less important advantage than the foregoing ones is the complete freedom of the furnisher, not only in detached houses but also in small flats.
