"Radiant heat is nothing new, but it is something worth the money.
In fact, it is the oldest, most basic, primary and effective form of heating. If you're a Canadian, then you must be like us: vast supporters of the basics and more importantly, enjoy not having frost bite."
So, what is radiant heat? What are the benefits of Valor fireplaces? Is it efficient?
WHAT IS IT?
Radiant heat technology differs from normal heating, in that invisible rays are directly absorbed into objects in the vicinity. By emitting electromagnetic infrared waves this type of heating spreads and is absorbed by the people and furniture in its path, as opposed to other methods of simply heating the air in the room without the objects directly heating up. Think about it this way: you feel the heat of the sun when you're in it's light, but the air around you isn't super heated by the sun. That's because the sun uses radiant heat projected through it's sunlight. So, which fireplaces are best at radiant heat? Valor's, of course!
