Radiant Floor Design Service

Using state of the art CAD design software we can design & optimize the loop layout design so that you will be ensured there are not cold spots, and your radiant floor system will operate as efficiently as possible to cover the heating & cooling demands.

Radiant Floor Design to suit your build

Radiant Floor Design to suit your build

Whether you are looking at hydronic heat in concrete, under floor joist, or as sub floor we can help. Proper sizing of the system starts with knowing the heat demand of your building. Our hydronic heating design service will ensure you project is a success.

Zoning

With our Radiant Floor Design Service we will work with you directly to create multiple zones so that you can easily adjust the temperature in one area with effecting another area.

Full Equipment Design

Our software will calculate the minimum required pump speeds required for each loop to optimize the supply and return water temperatures for comfort. We will give you the recommended pump sizes and can supply you with a complete radiant floor package system from the pumps, manifolds, actuators and zone controllers including WiFi Zone touch screen thermostats.

Heating
or cooling

Should you also wish to also cool your floors we can incorporate full radiant floor cooling to the system design.

How your radiant floor design project works

Our Loop CAD radiant floor design starts by first understanding the heating design load of the house/building. This is needed so that the radiant floor loops will be able to meet the heating loss that occurs during the coldest days.

In order to do this, we will require you to upload your building plans. Our design engineers will then contact you to review the plans and then first work on calculating a heating/cooling load using a Manual J calculation methodology.

Once this is complete, this information is fed into the Loop design software to help our designers with the layout the PEX loops, ensuring they match the calculated heating load.

We will work with you to discuss any zoning requirement you may have in the design process. In the end you will have a complete material list of required parts as well as a map of the PEX piping layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in your radiant floor design service?

Our comprehensive service includes a precise Manual J heat and cooling load calculation, a complete Loop CAD layout for your PEX piping, and a full equipment design. This ensures your system operates at peak efficiency with no cold spots.

How much does the hydronic radiant floor design cost?

The combined design service is priced at $0.18 per square foot. This single fee covers both the necessary heat load calculation and the custom radiant loop design for your building.

How does the Loop CAD design process work?

The process begins with you uploading your building plans. Our design engineers review your blueprints to calculate your exact heating and cooling loads using the Manual J methodology. We then feed this data into our Loop CAD software to map out your PEX piping layout and generate a complete material list.

Can I control the temperature in different rooms with radiant heating?

Yes! During the design process, we work directly with you to create multiple heating zones. This allows you to easily adjust the temperature in one specific area of your home without affecting the comfort of other rooms.

Will you tell me what hydronic equipment I need to buy?

Absolutely. Our design software calculates the minimum pump speeds required for each loop to optimize supply and return water temperatures. We provide exact recommendations for pump sizes, manifolds, actuators, zone controllers, and WiFi touch screen thermostats.

Can a radiant floor system provide cooling as well as heating?

Yes. If you are interested in cooling your home through your floors, we can incorporate full radiant floor cooling into your system's overall design.

What types of flooring construction can you design for?

Our engineers can design custom hydronic heating solutions to suit virtually any build. We can accommodate radiant heat embedded in concrete slabs, installed under floor joists, or placed over a sub-floor.

What documents do I need to start my radiant floor design?

To get started, you simply need to upload your architectural building plans or blueprints. Once uploaded, our design engineers will reach out to review the project dimensions and specifications with you.
