Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tando?
A tando (often spelled “tandoo”) is a type of traditional Korean platform, usually made of stone or concrete, built over an underground heating system. It’s a core element of traditional Korean homes, providing radiant floor heating – a concept known as “ondol.” Think of it as the ancestor of modern underfloor heating!
What is the meaning of Tando?
The word “tando” itself doesn’t have a single, universally accepted meaning beyond its reference to the traditional Korean heating platform. It’s simply the Korean word for this specific architectural feature. You’ll often see it associated with descriptions of traditional Korean houses and their heating systems.
What is tando made of?
Traditionally, tandos were constructed from stone, but modern versions can also incorporate concrete. The key element is that it forms a solid, heat-conductive platform. Beneath the platform lies a network of flues that carry hot smoke and gases from a fire source (often a wood-burning stove or furnace) to heat the stone or concrete above.
What does “tando” mean in Spanish?
The word “tando” has no direct meaning in Spanish. It’s a Korean term specific to Korean culture and architecture. If you encounter “tando” in a Spanish context, it’s likely a loanword being used to refer to the Korean heating platform itself, rather than a word with a native Spanish meaning.
