Electric glass radiator

How to choose the heater to be installed

Today, the construction industry offers different types of home heating. It passes by the method of invisible floor heating or baseboard heating, which can clutter with zero to ensure thermal comfort to the entire house, the pellet stove or hypocaust that with their structure sometimes cumbersome but aesthetically very pleasant, contribute to the heating of the house also being decorative objects.

Finally, but not less important, is the old heater or radiator, a real body formed depending on the types of several elements, with the most different materials, from cast iron to steel and now also in glass.

In reality, however, behind the choice of the type of system or radiator to be installed inside your house, there are some considerations that vary depending on the characteristics of the environment to be heated.

The strongest parameters are definitely the area of the room, its degree of thermal insulation, the intended use and its geographic location from which it is then possible to derive the value of the winter outside temperature.

Of course, in addition to these purely technical characteristics, we must also consider the needs of the individual clients. One of the companies that produce in addition to other types of heaters radiators in glass is the Thermal Technology.

Heaters in glass

One of the main characteristics of the glass radiators is their ability to combine in a single element the technology of the material, the glass, with the heating system, and the design, in fact often inside the houses constitute real additions of furniture.
You can also choose between different colors of glass elements, so the radiator is an item that will fit into any decor.

As regards the technical aspect the glass radiator can heat the rooms where it is placed transmitting heat by radiation and not by convection as well as makes a common radiator in cast iron.

In fact convection system heats the room air, through the formation of convection currents, warm air, as it is lighter gets up and goes to skim objects to which it transfers heat, then cooling it falls back to the ground to start over again the cycle.

We therefore have real air streams that move both during the heating cycle and during the subsequent cooling cycle carrying dust and bacteria.

The radiator in glass instead heats the room by radiation. It generally consists of a heating element in carbon fibre that transfers heat to a radiating plate of tempered glass.

The radiant panel glass is fixed to a steel structure. The radiator in glass, however, heats the room by radiation as the sun does, with this system, the heating is multi-directional and works through infrared rays which heat objects and predominantly opaque surfaces without interfering with the atmosphere.

In this way there is an even distribution of heat, therefore absolute well-being for the human body avoiding the unpleasant sensation of a hot head and cold feet.

The system gives a radiant heat leaving the air healthy, dust-free and with its natural moisture, so even people who suffer from allergies or have sore throats can breathe freely.

The radiator in glass because of its structure and the materials of which it is composed, can be placed in any environment, even in the bathrooms, and all models are equipped with a safety thermostat.

A company that offers various solutions of the radiator in glass is Thermoglance, the glass radiators offered by this company are in power by virtue of their design and attention to detail as well as a valuable piece of furniture very versatile and of minimum encumbrance.

These elettric radiators are constituted by two sheets of 6 mm clear glass, thermally treated and stratified in order to guarantee total safety and protection.

On the glasses the temperature is about 75° C, all this heat for approximately the 70% is transmitted by radiation and only the remaining 30% by convection. With this system it is possible to obtain excellent results in terms of comfort without causing any noise or smell.

Why choosing a glass radiator

Installing a glass radiator has many advantages, first of all it is environmentally friendly and its use is aimed at energy saving, also its characteristics of transparency and compactness that differ in design make them fit any decor.

It is easy to clean because it just consists of flat surfaces. It is also a type of radiator simple to install, it can be placed on the ground or fixed to the wall with steel supports.
