Space Heating Devices

Devices that warm rooms directly, including underfloor heating and fireplace inserts. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes a way of heating an indoor space. Such devices differ from whole-building central heating because each one warms a room or an area on its own, either through the floor surface or from a fireplace opening, and a technology is placed here by the way the cited article says the heat is delivered to the room.
