The Elpan/Wanpan Heating System – a Different Way of Heating

In comparison with traditional radiators, energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan heating system – is a different kind of heating. Heating panels of electric Elpan heating system and hydronic Wanpan heating system are fitted around the room at the base of the wall instead of ordinary skirting boards – regular baseboards.

This lay out of heating elements creates a Thermal Encirclement effect which helps to keep a constant temperature throughout the room and to avoid the air circulation caused by traditional radiators.

Accordingly to the surface of heating panels, Elpan/Wanpan baseboard heating system heats room using 70% of radiated heat directed into the center of the room and 30% of convection heat raising up.

Radiant heat provided by energy saving Elpan/Wanpan radiant skirting board heating system is the most comfortable heat at the point of Thermal Conditions. The thermal encirclement positively affects human beings as well as house plants and pets.

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.

Elpan/Wanpan Ultimate Radiant Heating System for Remodeling

There are many different kind of situations when an installation of new heating system is part of remodeling process. 

It is common that owner, after purchasing a new house, decides to replace an old and unefficient heating system with more updated and sophisticated one while doing remodeling of entire property. Sometimes remodeling takes place in old downtown buildings or house has to be sold and it needs serious remodeling job to be done.

When there is a decission made to leave floor as it is and there is no option (or desire) to use surrounding walls to install standard baseboard heaters or traditional radiators, Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system may be the only one to chose from. There is no need to take apart an existing floor or perform other kind of major construction work.

With Elpan/Wanpan heating systems remodeling process becomes much less complicated. Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan ultimate skirting board heating system flows softly into modern indoor design and let consumers to enjoy the most comfortable radiant heat.

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.

Elpan Radiant Heating System and Various Options for Indoor Design

Elpan/Wanpan heating elements are mounted at 0.5 inch from the floor to prevent the ventilation openings from being covered when carpet is laid.

If there is a risk for heating panels to be damaged or hit because of any specific activity going on in premise, heating panels of energy saving Elpan/Wanpan ultimate radiant heating system may be installed higher than 0.5 inch from the floor level.

Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan ultimate skirting board radiant heating systems giving architects and interior designers a lot of opportunities for creativity and various options.

Elpan/Wanpan Radiant Heating System and Furnishing

Once you have fitted Elpan/Wanpan modular heating panels, you can furnish your home exactly as you wish.There are no radiators, under the windows, which never look good in any home.

If furniture stands on the floor and it is distributed along the heating elements of energy saving Elpan/Wanpan ultimate skirting board radiant heating system for more than 1m, furniture must be pulled back 1 inch from the heating elements to allow the air to flow easily.

Standard decorative elements – stylish Distance Brackets are mounted on modular heating panels of energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan ultimate radiant heating system to avoid furniture to be pushed closer.

Thermal Encirclement – Fewer Asthma Attacks

The thermal encirclement principle eliminates draughts and cold floors.

This does not only benefit the elderly and the physically disabled people, but it is an enormous help to people suffering from rheumatism or respiratory disorders.

It means when energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan ultimate skirting board radiant heating system is installed fewer asthma attacks and faster recovery from those that occur.

There are also convincing examples that arthritis sufferers benefit from the thermal encirclement in each room.

Radiant Heat – Dry Walls, Corners and No Mildew

The heating panels of energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan ultimate skirting board radiant heating system are mounted around the perimeter of the room, at the floor level.

Every each corner of the room is wrapped in heat and there is no chance for damp walls or corners as well as mildew to be formed.

The Heat Enclosure implemented by using energy saving Elpan/Wanpan ultimate skirting board radiant heating systems provides with the most possible even temperature in the room which is very beneficial not only for people but also for house plants and animals.

Thermal Encirclement – Minimum Convection – No Additional Dust

Because of the Heat Enclosure effect while using energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan radiant skirting board heating system, a minimum convection does not allow for additional dust to form.

This is the result of the uniform temperature within the total space and the lowest level of air convection.  The difference of the temperature between the floor and the ceiling of the room is less than 0.5 degrees of C. It helps to have conditionally humid air in the room.

While using energy saving Elpan/Wanpan ultimate  radiant heating system floor surface is not additionally heated, so people and especially kids do not have any risk for their immune system to be weakening.

Radiant Heat Distribution Describes Efficiency of Heating System

Distribution of Heat – is the main factor which describes the efficiency of any heating system. This is well known fact by scientists, engineers and other professionals.   

  Any type of local heat source, e.g. radiator or fan-assisted baseboard heater has to produce a large volume of surplus heat by convection or forced air to reach all areas and corners of the room.

This results in uneven temperature extremes and excessive heat closer to the heat source and at “high-out-of-reach” levels close to the ceiling, but with “cold spots” in the corners and at the floor level.

The skirting board heating modules of energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan ultimate skirting board radiant heating systems allow radiant heat to be released in a uniform and controlled manner around the perimeter of the room, literally “stretching” the available energy-heat to provide maximum operational efficiency and an even temperature conditions.
