Some Misconceptions about Under Tile Heating Canberra
There is an old rumor that underfloor heating was harmful to feet. This comes from a time, the 1960s, when floor heating was still in the experimental stages. Floors were heated to over 30 degrees centigrade. This led to increased dust mites, who bred in the floor’s warm conditions.
Modern tiles are heated to about 28 degrees. This produces an evenly warm room, and will not encourage dust mites for two reasons. Firstly, dust mites need carpet, and cannot survive for long on tiles. Secondly, 28 degrees heat is rather a poor environment for mites.
Hot surfaces were once though to be bad for feet, causing problem with veins that became too hot, and with external sweating. This is true if the surface is over 30 degrees. But modern heated tiled floors are 28 degrees or lower. This is good for feet, and allows us to go barefoot, which is healthy. We can go barefoot and not suffer sweaty feet.
