Do you know the benefits of soapstone in electric heating?
In this article we show you its benefits with the Olympia system and its natural soapstone core.
Natural stone in heating
Natural stone has been one of the most widely used materials throughout history in heating, thanks to its great capacity to store heat. Some of its physical properties include high heat capacity, good thermal conductivity and excellent heat expansion, making it an ideal ally for heating systems.
Natural soapstone
A bit of history
The use of steatite dates back to the Upper Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods, where it was used in the manufacture of utensils such as vessels and vases. In Ancient Egypt, it was commonly used to make scarabs, seals and amulets. Over the centuries, it has been used in sculpture, decoration, structures and domestic utensils.
Properties of steatite natural stone
- It is mainly composed of talc and has a high magnesium content.
- It is a dense, soft, heat-resistant rock, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures.
- It stands out for its ability to store large amounts of heat and release it gradually.
Which stones absorb heat best?
Due to its high density, soapstone is the most heat-absorbing natural stone.
Which stones absorb heat the fastest?
Soapstone is also the natural stone that absorbs heat the fastest, thanks to its excellent thermal conductivity.
Is soapstone a better choice than thermal fluid?
The choice between thermal fluid and natural stone will depend on factors such as the characteristics of the home, the insulation of the house and the geographical location.
- Thermal fluid radiators reach the desired temperature faster, but also cool down faster when switched off.
- Natural stone radiators take longer to heat up, but store heat better, maintaining the temperature for longer.
Conclusion:
The choice will depend on whether you need to reach temperature quickly or maintain thermal comfort for a longer period of time.
