Radiant Floor Heating
Introducing HeatPly Radiant Heating. A modular panel platform for housing hydronic tubing between your subfloor and finished floor. HeatPly is well suited for both residential and commercial applications.
Radiant Heat is one of the most popular and cost effective methods for generating heat. The heated floor system pumps pre-heated water through tubing laid underneath the floors. The heat then, radiates into the home through the floor. HeatPly’s radiant floor panels convection properties help to evenly distribute heat across the floor during temperature ramp up, and our narrower hydronic tube spacing conducts heat faster, allowing for warmer floors in less time. Another benefit of narrower spacing is the system can run at lower temperatures.
Radiant panels are designed with the installer in mind. A low 5/8” profile design for new or existing construction. Full dimensions and pre-scribed centerline cutting grid allows for quick and easy layout and installations. Quicker installation times with less need for tape measure and straight edge. Contractors agree that radiant installation times are reduced with HeatPly.
HeatPly is lightweight, made from plywood, a trusted building component, and is environmentally friendly in both its construction and intended use.
Our radiant heat systems perform well during the installation and continues year after year. Our product design benefits and features are second to none, and a smart choice for your Radiant Heat Systems. Our radiant heat panels are efficient, ideal for solar applications, and a key component for your radiant systems.
Comfort
(continued from above) ...warm the floors in your house and make a comfortable environment. Because of this, Radiant Heat is once again gaining popularity due to its increased comfort level and energy efficiency.
Being on a cold floor or next to a cold wall, will most likely make you feel cold. But when your radiant floors are warm, your feet will be warm as well and that will warm your whole body. Radiant floors offer the most efficient and comfortable living conditions in any climate.
If you own a home that has been built in the last 20+ years, chances are that it has a traditional heating system. This is because forced air is the cheapest method of heat for builders to install. Unfortunately though, this is not the healthiest or most efficient type of heat for you or the people buying and living in those homes.
Efficiency
(continued from above) ...individual rooms so you can only heat the rooms that are being used. With a traditional heating system, the rapidly moving air heats rooms unevenly as it is pushed from room to room and out vents and cracks. Unlike warm floors whenever you open a door with forced heat, you will lose some of that heat.
Energy efficient radiant heating systems will save you money every month because the heat is very slow moving and is not rushing all over the house. The benefit of radiant heat is that the amount of energy required to create, and maintain a comfortable temperature is significantly less than compared to forced air.
When you stand in the sun, you are really feeling radiant heat. That kind of heat is much more pleasant than the whirlwind of dry warm air you get with traditional systems. With today's technology, Radiant Heat is clearly the best overall choice for your home or business heating systems.
Benefits
(continued from above) ...integral component of high performance green building and design.
Environmentally Pro-Active - Radiant systems uses up to 30 percent less energy than traditional systems. By saving on energy fewer natural resources are used, and you can save money as well on your energy bills. Saving every kilowatt you can prevents the degradation of natural resources, and promotes the use of renewable resources by large power companies. Saving the environment is vastly important for our future as well as the future of our children and our planet.
Even Heating - Since Radiant Heat Systems direct heat from the floor upwards, every object in the room is heated that makes contact with the floor. Cold objects absorb heat, since your body is warm, when you sit in a cold chair, the chair pulls heat from your body. With Radiant Heating Systems, the chair is warmed before you sit down, and you feel warmer constantly, because your body is not being drained of heat. The same thing happens when you walk on a cold floor, or touch a cold bathtub. Heat rises from the floor to encompass everything in the home, no matter if you are cold natured or hot, your body maintains its temperature, and everyone feels more comfortable. With forced air, the air begins to lose heat as soon as it leaves the furnace, loses even more as it passes through the heating ducts, and then cools dramatically as it meets the cool air in each room generated by the cold surfaces in the room.
Allergens - For families that have loved ones who suffer from allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems Radiant Floor Heating provides a healthy environment. Since there are no currents flowing through your home, blowing dust and allergen particles, the air remains pure. We carry dust and allergens into our homes on the clothes and shoes we wear and every time a door or window is opened. Each time the heating supply kicks on, it blows dust and allergens around a room, and the dust and allergens collect in the heating ducts and resettles there each time the furnace kicks off, to be redistributed over and over.
Radiant does not use air to warm a home, and the dust and allergens can be vacuumed away and never be redistributed. Mold and mildew are a large part of the allergen problems in a home. Radiant floor heating prevents this by keeping damp surfaces in the bathrooms and kitchens dry. The moisture in a bathroom takes a long time to evaporate when it settles on a cold floor, radiant heat provides a warm surface that allows moisture to dry quickly and prevent mold and mildew from forming.
