Installers should consult with floor manufactures as to how much heat they can actually allow on the flooring in their homes. Wood flooring must be seasoned and any possible moisture must be taken out, in order not to damage the flooring itself. The flow of air circulation produces more dust and debris, which makes air-purification difficult. With a radiant floor, you don t have any air movement per say. You are eliminating the air process, which solves the asthma factor.
Asthmatic patients are very allergic to tainted air.
In newly constructed homes, some of which have a large room, commonly known as the family room or great room, an oversized room can be a problem. The installer faces the difficulty of having to do a series of load calculations to determine how to properly heat large rooms. An average size room is estimated to use 40 BTUs per square foot. Also, the amount of windows and the sizes of the windows must be taken into consideration for the room to be heated properly. This means another type of heat source, such as central heating, must exist to keep occupants warm.
