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.

Electric Skirting Board Heating – Unusual Interior Design Solution

In some rare cases when heat loses are very high and there is no other option to add another heating source as an additional one – two rows of Elpan modular heating panels could be mounted on a single wall or under windows with some precautions to keep an interior design preserved as much as possible.

This is one of the options to avoid adding an additional heating system into the space while keeping the same details of the design.

There are only few very specific projects which required such kind of unusual energy efficient electric Elpan radiant heating system installation. However, this is one more option for indoor designers and architects.

Electric Elpan Heating Panels Keep Roof Windows Clear

A constant problem when roof windows are covered by snow or ice is very common in areas where cloudy/snowy air conditions are more often to happen. This problem could be easily solved by installing Elpan electric radiant heating panels under every each window.

When a single Elpan electric heating panel is mounted under a window it helps to prevent additional humidity layer to appear on the window from inside and snow or ice to accumulate on the window’s outside surface.

 Elpan heating panels keep windows clear allowing day light and sunshine to get into the room all the time.

Thermal Encirclement and Modern Interior Design

The heating panels of energy saving Elpan/Wanpan ultimate skirting board radiant heating system are distributed along the total perimeter of the heated room, on to ordinary location of plinth, so called regular baseboards. This creates a comfortable thermal encirclement effect and a stylish look.

The heating panels of energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan ultimate baseboard heating systems are available in two colors: white – RAL 9010 and light grey –  RAL 7035.  If it is a desire to match the interior of the room to the heating panels of the heating system, the custom colors can be created.

With Wanpan radiant heating system there are no visible feed pipes in the room, as everything is concealed behind the heating panels.

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.
