Products/Radiant Floors are one of the oldest forms of heating a structure — dating all the way back to Roman times. Products/Radiant Floor
Heat provides numerous benefits, including increased comfort, more even temperatures, cleaner air, no cold drafts, all
while being quieter and more energy-efficient compared to forced-air heat.
In a Products/Radiant Floor heating system, warm water flows through tubes located underneath the floors. That warmth radiates up
from the floors and warms everything it comes in contact with — including people. Products/Radiant Heating is compatible under any
type of floor covering — carpet, wood, slate, tile, linoleum, and even concrete — making design possibilities endless.
We have experience with almost all types of Products/Radiant Heating Systems, on projects of all sizes. We have installed system as
small as a single Sun Room Addition all the way up to a large Crane Maintenance Facility containing 10's of thousands of square
feet of area.
Thin Slab
Tubing is attached to the wood subfloor usually with staples until a concrete, lightweight concrete, dry pack or gypsum
underlayment is installed as the final subfloor. Gypsum products bond to the subfloor and are generally thinner and lighter
than concrete products.
Concrete Slab
Tubing is attached to wire mesh or other material to hold it in place until the concrete floor is poured. The tubing is embedded in the concrete
anywhere from the bottom of the slab to within 2 inches of the surface, depending on the design and installation technique.
Suspended In Joist Space
Tubing is suspended several inches beneath the subfloor in the joist space. Insulation is installed in the joist space
beneath the tube with a 2 to 4 inch air space between the top of the insulation and the bottom of the subfloor. The air
within this space is heated by the tube which, in turn, heats the underside of the subfloor.
Staple-Up to Sub-Flooring
Tubing is attached to the underside of the existing subfloor. Aluminum plates are used to spread the heat evenly under
the subfloor. Insulation is placed in the joist space beneath the tubing to prevent heat loss to spaces below the tubing
Climate Panels
Premanufactured panels with a layer of aluminum and a channel for tubing are screwed to the subfloor.
Floor coverings can include Hardwood, Vinyl, Cement Board & Tile or Stone, or Laminated Flooring.
