Radiant Heat And Your Concession Trailer Or Mobile Catering Truck
You operate a concession trailer or mobile catering truck and what you probably do not realize is that you share a common problem with the US Navy, Army, and Coast Guard.
When the US Navy had heat build-up problems with their remote control vehicle trailers when the US Army had heat build-up problems on their Patriot Missile Launchers when the US Coast Guard had heat build-up problems on the decks of their coastal patrol ships based in Miami and Puerto Rico they all went looking for a solution. They required a solution that did not involve additional power to support supplemental air conditioning systems.
They found it in a relatively new product to enter the market – Insuladd!
Basic white roof coatings are simply reflectors of light that turns into heat when it strikes an object such as the roof or walls of concession trailer or mobile catering truck. As the white coating becomes dirty from normal contaminants in the air its ability to reflect radiant energy is reduced until it reaches a point where it is reflecting very little radiant energy what-so-ever and the heat is being transmitted directly to the interior of the trailer or building.
Insuladd has developed ceramic microspheres, to be a broad spectrum radiant energy reflectors. When Insuladd is added into ordinary paint or other roof coating it creates a radiant barrier, not simply a radiant reflector as white paint is.
As an example: By painting the underside of a concession trailer roof with Insuladd the interior will be noticeably cooler in summer and warmer in the winter. Regular white paint alone does not contain the properties to perform this temperature stabilization.
Insuladd has been used by companies such as Container House International, to paint their shipping containers in order to reduce the interior temperature and lessen the loading on refrigeration units.
Insuladd can be purchased as paint or as an additive that can be blended with paint or other coatings.
Note: Insuladd can be used in homes to increase the “R” factor on exterior walls.

Radiant Heat Flooring More Than Keeping Your Feet Warm
How many times have you walked barefoot on your tile floor in the middle of winter and said "Man that's cold!"? A few times I'm sure. Well, with radiant floor heating you can say goodbye to cold feet on your tile floor. Radiant floor heating goes further than just keeping the floors in your home warm. It also helps in warming the entire house.
How does radiant floor heating actually work anyway? Basically, it's a system of hot water tubes that are connected to the sub-floor. Thermal flooring is then installed over the top of these tubes which will take the heat and transfer it out into the room.
It is kind of like how an old hot water radiator worked when you were in school. At least those of us who are old enough to remember those radiators in the classrooms.
The heating source can be from any number of hot water resources. Because of how flexible the flooring system is, it makes for many different options.
What I really like about radiant heat flooring is that it is so quiet. You have no idea the system is even running. I love it in the bathroom!
It is also a very energy efficient heating system and dramatically reduces the need to run the furnace.
If you are searching for a way of keeping your floors warm in the winter and save money on your heating bills, consider taking a serious look at radiant heat flooring.
