| Underfloor Heating
Radiant heating, also known as, underfloor heating, claims its name from the place where the heating system is installed. Pex tubing carrying heated water runs underneath the finished floor. The best and most energy efficient results are produced when radiant heating is installed prior to the installation of hardwood, tiles or stones. Underfloor heating system may be installed under existing floor as well, but the results are not the same. As compared to new construction, installation of radiant heating under existing flooring is less efficient because heat is required to pass through additional layer of subfloor. When installing radiant heating under existing flooring, ceiling access from a floor below must be provided. Pex tubing is installed between joists and fastened to the floor above. The aluminum reflectors are stapled to the floor above holding Pex tubing like hangers, while the reflectors are installed in order to give off heat evenly and to produce best results.
