We map out the mechanical space to accommodate the control panel and the heat source (water heater or boiler) as early as possible in the project. We use WiFi thermostats that seamlessly communicate with our control panel and your smart phone. The interface between you and your heating system has to be easy and intuitive. This installation method requires foil-faced insulation to be installed. Staple-Up/UnderFloor – The pipe is installed to the underside of the existing subfloor and is usually only installed in remodels. Tile floors – usually a cement board is installed.Ĭarpet floors need a hardboard backing – particle board is not recommended For specifications click here.Įngineered floors can be nailed or glued down directly to the HeatPly. It is glued and screwed to the wood subfloor and is 5/8” thick and uses 3/8” pipe. HeatPly – HeatPly is a premanufactured plywood board with a channel to accept the hydronic radiant heating pipes. Sleepers – A less commonly seen installation method is to use strips of wood between the radiant heating pipe with or without a topping slab Staple Down – The hydronic radiant heating pipes are attached to the top of the wood subfloor to hold them in place until a light-weight topping slab or dry pack is installed. A topping slab is then poured over the heating system and is protected while the project is completed.Įxisting Construction – Our installation method will depend on the site conditions, floor heights and build-up. New Construction - We recommend 1” rigid foam insulation be secured to the existing slab and the pipe is attached to the foam. This installation method is not suitable for slabs over 6” thick due to slow response times. The pipe is attached to the rebar or wire mesh to hold it in place until the concrete floor is poured. Slab on Grade Installation – requires minimum R-5 insulation under the slab and on the slab edges. In some cases, multiple installation methods are used on a project. ![]() Installation methods are determined by the design of the project or by pre-existing conditions. An additional water heater is needed to heat the domestic hot water.Ĭombined System - uses a single water heater to provide both the domestic hot water and the hot water for the hydronic radiant system. Stand-Alone System - uses a dedicated heat source to heat the water for the hydronic radiant heating system. ![]() There are two types of hydronic radiant heating systems: With over 25 years of experience, we know how to ensure that your project is a success. We only use quality, energy efficient components and installation methods that meet or exceed our customers’ expectations and industry standards.
