Radiant Panel Systems for Hydronic Heating

Radiant floor heating warms the room by gently transferring heat from the floor surface into the space. This creates even temperatures throughout the room without drafts or air movement associated with forced air systems.

Because the entire floor surface becomes a low temperature heat emitter, radiant heating delivers consistent comfort while operating quietly and efficiently.

• Unmatched comfort: Even, silent heat from the ground up—no cold spots, ever.
• Energy efficiency: Lower operating costs thanks to superior heat transfer and reduced energy waste.
• Luxury feel: Warm floors underfoot turn everyday living into a high-end experience.
• Healthier air: No blowing dust or allergens—just clean, radiant warmth.
• Design freedom: No vents or baseboards means cleaner lines and more usable space

RadiantBoard panels are designed for installation over wood subfloors.

The panels combine precision routed tubing channels with aluminum heat transfer surfaces to distribute heat efficiently across the floor.

Typical applications include:

• New residential construction
• Remodel and retrofit projects
• Wood framed floor assemblies
• RadiantBoard provides a simple and effective method for installing radiant heat beneath finished flooring while maintaining excellent heat transfer performance.

ThermalBoard panels are an cost saving alternative to Radiant board in that they use MDF construction rather than plywood.

The panels combine precision routed tubing channels with aluminum heat transfer surfaces to distribute heat efficiently across the floor.

Typical applications include:

• Wood framed floors where additional insulation is beneficial
• Rooms above unconditioned space
• Areas where maximizing heat output to the floor surface is desired

RadiantBoard EPS combines radiant heat transfer with expanded polystyrene insulation.

This system is often used where radiant heat is being installed over concrete or non-insulated substrates.

Typical applications include:

• Concrete slab installations
• Basement floors
• Floors requiring additional insulation beneath the radiant system

ThermalBoard EPS combines the aluminum heat transfer performance of ThermalBoard with expanded polystyrene insulation.

This system provides both efficient heat transfer and integrated thermal separation.

Typical applications include:

• Installations over concrete floors
• Floors where additional insulation is required
• Hydronic systems designed for lower water temperature operation

35 years ago a company called Gypcrete (now Maxxon) came up with the idea of stapling PEX tubing to raised floor subfloors and pouring gypsum cement about 1 ½” over the floor thereby dramatically expanding the market for radiant heating for the upper raised floors. It changed the industry. As time has gone by, there are now lighter, lower profile, more easily installed, faster responding and more efficient solutions available.
