Radiant Heat Floors

One of the most luxurious things you can do in your home is add in-floor heating to your tile or hardwood. Radiant heating systems make hard surfaces much more comfortable to walk across and can actually warm your home.  In floor heat, or warm wire, can warm your flooring up to 15 degrees higher than it would be normally.

We've installed radiant heat under almost every type of surface, and for every kind of room.  We've used radiant floor heating for tile floors in bathrooms, stone floors in kitchens, and hardwood floors in family rooms and hallways.  We've even installed it under existing floors (we had access to the joists under the floor in the unfinished basement).

Radiant Heat or Hydronic

Hydronic radiant systems are most often installed in Whole House applications in New Construction, not remodels.  Preparations must be taken to leave space in the floor (up to 1-1/2″) for the tubes.  Hydronic systems use a Boiler, pumps, manifolds, valves, an expansion tank.  Never mind the mechanical room needed to house this equipment. Radiant heat warm wire or mats are used most often in small remodel environments (less than 1,500sf) and are simpler than hydronic, takes up less space, goes in faster and for smaller areas, the per square foot cost is much lower. Once the system is installed, your floors will feel wonderful regardless of the approach you choose.
