Uponor radiant heating
systems can be installed in several different ways.
In
Concrete Before the Slab is Poured
This is an
efficient and cost effective installation method. Used in both
commercial and residential construction, this method has several
advantages including lower cost and greater thermal storage ability.
Over Suspended Wooden
Floors and Covered
with Poured Floor Underlayment
This
common residential installation method is used when the tubing is
installed in a poured floor underlayment. Pours are usually 1½" thick
with no less than ¾" over the top of the tubing.
Over the Subfloor
For
remodeling projects or additions where it is impractical to install
tubing in a lightweight concrete pour or between the floor joists from
below, consider the option of installing aluminum heat emission plates
or Quik Trak™ panels over a suspended wood floor.
Between
the Joists
This method
is commonly used in both new and retrofit work where slab on grade or
lightweight concrete applications are impractical. It is an effective
option for remodels or floor conditioning, and is also used for heating
the upper floors of a new home. No structural framing changes are
needed.
Quik
Trak®
Great
for new or remodeling construction, Quik Trak®
is an innovative solution to your customers' cold-floor problem areas.
Easy to plan and install, this patented system of slim, ½"-thick profile
wood panels can be installed over the existing concrete slab or plywood
subfloors. The system of six preassembled panels makes installation even
easier. Your customers will enjoy the fast response time and powerful
heat output Quik Trak provides.
The comfort of radiant heat is still possible even when floor installation is not an option. Consider the possibility of wall and ceiling installation in retrofit jobs or as a supplement to radiant heat in a high heat-loss area. Wall and ceiling installations are simple to design and can be a lower cost alternative to radiant floors.
