Floor Heat

By circulating heated water through a network of pipes installed in floors, hydronic radiant heating systems maintain spaces at even, comfortable temperatures using less energy than traditional forced-air systems.

The most common way to install in-floor heat piping is the poured in system. The piping is encased in concrete which allows the whole slab to warm up to a set temperature. This can be done on a subfloor with light weight concrete or slab on grade. 

There is more than one way to add floor heat to your home or office. For retrofits the easiest and most cost effective way is to install the radiant tubing below the floor with aluminum heat transfer plates. The aluminum transfer plates help spread the head and radiate it up through the floor. 

While most companies install copper or black pipe for the main boiler piping loops, we use Aquatherm. Aquatherm Pipe offers longevity and ongoing performance, without corroding or weakening over time. Their groundbreaking faser-composite technology reduces linear expansion and contraction and improves impact resistance. This helps keep the system cleaner which means less maintenance and repairs.
