In Floor Radiant Heat Panels

There are two types of radiant floor heating electric and water based systems.

In floor radiant heat panels.

Smarttrac radiant panel solution smarttrac hydronic radiant floor heating. Creatherm radiant heat floor panels for 1 2 inch 5 8 inch or 3 4 inch pex tubing for slab infloor heating. With electric radiant it s easy to find turnkey systems. Radiant heat floor panels for 3 8 1 2 5 8 and 3 4 inch pex tubing.

Warm water systems run hot water through pipes to create heat whereas electric underfloor heating heats wiring beneath the floor to generate heat. The systems depend largely on radiant heat transfer the delivery of heat directly from the hot surface to the people and objects in the room via infrared radiation. No boiler no water no 1 2 inch thick tubing to alter. Smarttrac is a non structural modular panel system designed to simplify radiant heating and cooling installations in subfloor wall and ceiling applications.

For an alternative to the cost and complication of a hydronic system there s electric radiant heat. Its warmth comes from a loop of thin electric wire laid directly under the finish floor. Both provide heating in a room from the floor up for consistent efficient warmth. Thermal board is a high efficient low mass modular pex tubing underlayment system for above floor radiant heating systems.

The floor heating cables of these two most popular brands take the pie for being the best electric radiant floor heating cables. Radiant heating systems supply heat directly to the floor or to panels in the wall or ceiling of a house.
