Additional Construction – Few More Heating Panels

Heating panels of Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system are mounted at the location of regular baseboards, all way around perimeter of the room. 

Working on older construction or newer building, which is not properly insulated, there may be a case, when lenght of walls around the entire perimeter of the room is not long enough to install the certain number of heating panels to cover estimated heat losses.

A construction of “middle island” in a kitchen or custom made bar in a living area can be used for the purpose of adding more wall lenght. Modular heating panels of energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan heating system are mounted onto outside walls of the construction to cover heat losses of the room and simply – to keep up with the indoor design.

After adding few more heating panels Elpan/Wanpan baseboard radiant heating system is running at lower temperature while providing with the same thermal conditions and the highest level of comfort.

Carpet Flooring and Elpan/Wanpan Ultimate Radiant Heating System

It is necessary to install the ultimate heating system, when going green and energy efficient, especially, if chosing carpet flooring. Recently, manufacturers are making thin carpet with a low pile and suggesting it to be used with any heating system, even infloor/underfloor heating systems. However, if heated floor of entire room are covered and heat has to pass through any additional layer (such as carpet), heating efficiency is affected significantly.

Conductivity of carpet is extremly low. Even if the surface of the floor (under the carpet) is heated to the max it will be very difficult to heat the room. In this case, Radiant Heating becomes Conductive Heating, which is one of the most unefficient ways to heat premises.

Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system is absolutely suitable, when it comes to carpeted floor. The modular heating panels of Elpan/Wanpan ultimate radiant heating system are installed 0.5 inch from the floor level, so carpet may by layed just under the skirting board so ventilation holes stay uncovered.

Energy Consumption and Wood Flooring

A signifficant amount of heating energy could be lost when transfering heat through other objects and especially – wood. The thermal conductivity of wood is very low, compearing with metals. Wood -based materials as loose fill, flexible batts or rigid panels are used for Thermal or Sound Insulation.

Because of these scientific facts, it is not a very good idea to install wood floor and infloor/underfloor heating system while seeking to have energy efficient heating. Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system has no limitations at this point and any type of flooring works perfectly fine.

The thermal conductivity of structural softwood lumber at 12% moisture is about 1500 times lower than thermal conductivity of aluminum.

Front plates of Wanpan modular heating panels are made of aluminum. The structure of hydronic Wanpan skirting board heating system allows radiant heat to flow through aluminum plates into the room without the additional energy consumption, which would be needed to transfer heat through the wood floor. Copper pipes mounted behind the aluminum front plates of Wanpan baseboard modular panels complete the concept of this ultimate heating system.

Corners and Doors with Elpan/Wanpan Modern Skirting Board Heating

Unlikely from local baseboard heaters or traditional radiators the modular heating panels of energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system is installed at the location of regular baseboards all way through the perimeter of premise.

Elpan/Wanpan modular radiant heating panels cover all coners and niches of the room and gives uninterrupted and neat design look. At the door, a specific part – “stop”,  will cover the end of the heating or empty panel to complete the modern and sophisticated indoor design.

With Elpan/Wanpan ultimate heating system you can achieve the most updated and modern design while having energy savings and healthy environment at the same time.
