Most frequent questions

Heat is only the colloquial expression of a feeling of comfort. What rises up is the warm air. However, radiant heating means that energy is transferred from the transmitter (the KSP to go® radiant panels) to the receiver (the irradiated surfaces) with almost no losses and can be felt there as heat! The principle of the sun is brought into the building!

KSP to go® radiant panels have an operating weight of approx. 16.5 kg / m². In the case of a poorly insulated building and a feed temperature of 65° C, you can assume there would be a necessary occupancy of approx. 30% of the roof area. As a result the roof's surface would be loaded with 4, 95 kg / m². If a roof can not cope with this load, you should not really enter this building anymore for security reasons. The better the U-values of the enclosing surfaces and the lower the heating load requirement, the smaller the necessary occupancy area and the roof surface load decreases accordingly to an average of 2,5 - 3,5 kg / m².

Try our online calculator, or plan for yourself using the following method:

Determine the possible mounting height h (distance from the radiant panel to the floor).
The maximum distance of a strip from the wall may be h / 2.
The maximum distance between two bands may be h.
The length of the strips should be max. room length minus 1 m, so that you have 50 cm on both sides. You need this for the connections and of course also for the assembly.
Determine the planned heat output using the technical data of the KSP to go® radiant panels and select a panel width. If the heat output is not sufficient with the largest width, increase the number of strips.

First and foremost, it has to be said that, compared to convective heating systems, radiant panels already save enormous energy over their enormous long life, which makes them per se an environmentally friendly product. Since there is almost no maintenance during the whole period, no energy input is necessary for it. Now, there are still the used materials. KSP to go® radiant panels are made exclusively of aluminium, steel and mineral wool insulation. At the end of their service life, these substances can be separated, recycled and returned to the raw material cycle without any problems. Thus, we can assure ourselves with a clear conscience that our KSP to go® radiant panels are enormously environmentally friendly and sustainable products.

You're right. Basically, every LED luminaire is sensitive to heat and if you permanently expose it to high temperatures, this is usually at the expense of the lifetime of the LEDs. Our KSP to go® LED sets, however, have not been simply combined with ceiling radiant panels, but have been specially developed for the combined operation. In order to conserve the LED luminaires, each individual luminaire is supplied with only 22 W. In addition, each luminaire has a large aluminium heat sink and is positioned with our special mounting brackets so that there is virtually no heat transfer from the ceiling plate to the LED. This was checked and proved by extensive thermographic measurements.
