How Does Radiant Floor Cooling Actually Work?
Most people understand radiant heating—warmth rises from the floor. Cooling is the inverse. Instead of pushing cold air through a vent, a radiant system turns your entire floor into a massive heat sink.

This doesn't just cool the air; it cools the thermal mass of the building. You feel comfortably "neutral" rather than being blasted by a cold breeze.
