But in a home, it is problematic. When hot air is pumped through a duct, it is typically between 120–140ºF (49–60ºC). ... Hot air rises. Learn why this is not ideal for your home
Warmboard-S vs Gypsum Concrete

Gypsum concrete may have a long association with radiant, but given a blank sheet of paper today, no engineer would choose that material for a ... Warmboard-S vs Gypsum Concrete
The Future of Energy-Efficient Heating: Low Water Temperatures
While we insulate homes to prevent heat from escaping outside, even the most well-insulated homes experience heat loss. This is because heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat from one molecule to another through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids ... The Future of Energy-Efficient Heating: Low Water Temperatures

Want to control the temperature of each room in your house?
One word: Zoning Most forced air heated homes have a single thermostat, and therefore a single zone. This is due to the fact that forced air systems are inherently difficult, and expensive, to zone. Radiant homes with floor heat have numerous zones because they are easy and inexpensive to create. This allows you to keep ... Want to control the temperature of each room in your house?

“Striping.” What it is and why it matters.
With a radiant floor heating system, the tubing beneath the floor emanates the heat. This heat radiates out across the floor, keeping the the surface warm. But understandably, the further you get from the tubing, the less intense the heat becomes. This difference in temperatures across the surface of the floor is called “striping”. To ... “Striping.” What it is and why it matters.
Feeling the wrong temperature at the wrong time of the day from your radiant system? It’s called “overshoot.”
It’s a common issue with high mass systems. They produce too little heat in the morning, so you turn up the heat. As the day warms, and the interior of your house gets too warm, you turn the heat off – but the high mass continues to produce heat for several hours. The only solution ...

Energy savings features on thermostats don’t work with radiant heat. Except when they do.
In many states, programmable (set back) thermostats are required to allow for energy savings at night when you are sleeping. But this is a problem with high mass radiant systems because it takes too many hours to reduce their heat output. Fast response Warmboard works quite well with night time set back, saving additional energy ... Energy savings features on thermostats don’t work with radiant heat. Except when they do.
