Warmboard_vs_Gypcrete.pdfA look at the differences in performance and costs between both methods of radiant heating...
Warmboard_vs_QuikTrak.pdfThis matrix shows how the products differ as well the difference in necessary materials for a successful installation...
Warmboard-R_vs_QuikTrak.pdfThis matrix shows how these two non-structural panels compare in performance and necessary materials. Includes number of panels, number of screws, tubing loop length, manifolds, etc...
Conductivity_Is_King.pdfAll too often the term "Thermal Mass" is used when discussing radiant heat. Used in this context, it is referencing the ability of a high mass radiant floor assembly to store heat. The concept originally made sense in the design of passive solar homes back...
Baseboard_v_Warmboard.pdfThe adoption of finn-tube baseboard convector became increasingly common in the early 1940's. These space heating convectors consisted of small copper pipe contained within a painted sheet metal enclosure. Fitted around...
EnergySavingsCalculator.pdfLet's go by the numbers. The content listed here is based on research documentation and substantiated facts. Real world examples are also given which show savings in dollars and cents.
Warmboard_Green.pdfA look at the many environmental benefits of choosing Warmboard, from materials to energy conservation...
Geothermal_and_Warmboard.pdfFor many homes, electricity is a feasible fuel source for heating water in a radiant floor heating system. Investing in a ground source geothermal heat pump can be a practical solution for those who want low energy bills, low energy consumption...
HeatLossMechanical.pdfLearn all about our design services and the importance of measuring heat loss to best decide which components to buy...
Build_A_100mpg_Car.pdfEnergy efficiency is, and has always been, one of the key reasons for building a radiant floor heated home. Given the rapidly escalating cost of energy, the efficiency of radiant has never been more important...

Sound_Attenuation.pdfSound attenuation for floor/ceiling assemblies may be required to attain code ratings or desired by a client to mitigate sound transfer. The best practice in residential, multi-family and light commercial applications is to have...
Superior_Radiant_Technology.pdfSee why Warmboard is an unmatched technology in home heating...
Tubing_Spacing.pdfWe are often asked why Warmboard is only available with 12" tubing spacing. These questions typically come from people familiar with the limitations of low conductivity thin slab systems which often require tubing spacing of 6" o.c. (on center) or closer...
Baseboard_v_Warmboard-R.pdfA look at the pros and cons of baseboard radiant heating, and the benefits of upgrading to Warmboard-R ...
Warmboard_Advantages.pdfA short, bulleted list of the benefits of choosing Warmboard radiant heat ...
Fast_Radiant_Demystified.pdfOne of the most significant benefits of Warmboard is its ability to quickly adjust to temperature changes and keep a conditioned space at the desired comfortable temperature. We call this "fast radiant", because unlike competing radiant solutions...
