In convection heat you heat the air first and then use the hot air to heat yourself. In radiant heat, the energy must be radiated directly from the heat element to your body. Note that radiant is much more directional.

radiant heat
A process of conduction and radiation. Conduction of the heat from the cooked patty and the radiant heat of the grill or broiler.
the process by which heat is transfer from one body to another {in air} while using no medium is known as radiation or radiant energy.
Radiant heat transmits in the form of waves.

Radiant heat is wonderful. It takes heat from an energy source--such as electrical coils in a ceiling--and warms the surrounding area gently. In the case of ceiling radiant heat, the warmth gradually spreads through the room. Radiant heating in a floor is a better choice because heat rises.
In my opinion, radiant heat is better than a traditional furnace. You have more control over how much heat you want, and where you want the heat. Using radiant heat is also more cost effective.

The floor you can install on top of the radiant heat is Tile and hardwood floor.
The answer is no. Radiant ceiling heating does not work as well as radiant floor heating in that heat rises so having heat in the ceiling will not be as efficient as heating in the floor.
Radiant floor heat is considered by many to be better than central heat because it is much better for our environment. Another reason is that is cost less to heat your house using radiant floor heat than central heating.
