The Do's And Don'ts Of Installing In-Floor Radiant Heating System With Hardwood Flooring When considering radiant heat, the reluctance to install hardwood floors over radiant heat systems was from the original technology, launched more than 40 years ago. With radiant heat, to compensate for poor insulation, radiant heat temperatures were higher than normal causing excessive expansion and contraction in hardwood floors, which resulted in damage to hardwoods and a builder's reputation. Today, faultless radiant heat installations of fine hardwood flooring are... Radiant Heating And Radiant Barriers If you have a radiant heat system, radiant barrier foil is an ideal way to maximize your radiant heat efficiency. Radiant heat is heat that is transmitted from a heat source through space and a radiant barrier is designed to reflect that heat towards your living space. Radiant barriers are made from materials that are poor at absorbing heat but excellent at reflecting it. A radiant barrier is usually a thin sheet or coating of a highly reflective material, mostly alum... Radiant Heat And Concrete â€“ Why Proper Curing Is So Important To stop concrete from cracking, the first thing to understand about concrete is that it reacts to moisture. The moisture within it creates a chemical reaction that hardens the concrete. Many people believe that once concrete appears lighter in color, with a hard surface that it is dry, but in reality concrete takes at least seven days to cure and several weeks to completely dry. For concrete to become strong and for the surface to wear well, curing concrete needs mois... Tips For Handing Your Radiant Heat Tubing A radiant heat system is a series of radiant heat tubes that are laid within a floor, which carry hot water into specific rooms or “zones”. During the preparation and installation of a radiant heat system you should take precautionary measures to protect the radiant heat tubing. Radiant heat tubing is also known as PEX and is an excellent material for hot water applications. It’s a cross-linked Polyethylene which means that is has been processed to create a more durabl...
