Learn About the Options

November 29, 2008 00:11 AM  BY  STACEY BARRUS

With the current housing market being so unpredictable, we’re seeing an increasing number of homeowners are opting to stay put in their homes, rather than buy a new home. They find that one way to make their current home a better fit for them is to remodel the kitchen or bathroom, or upgrade the home’s heating systems. While there isn’t a single heating system out there that is an ideal fit for every project, there is an ideal system for every project. Warmzone.com can provide you with the heating systems you desire, as well as consult with you on which systems would be the best fit for your project.

Hydronic under floor heating systems are some of the most popular forms of radiant heat. In the most recent hydronic heating systems, PEX radiant tubing has been installed in a concrete mass called Gypsum Concrete or “Gypcrete.” This method of heating system installation works very well in most applications, but there have been developments in the installation process of hydronic under floor heating that make it easier to install for certain situations. This new development is known as a low-mass or modular board underlayment system. Rather than embedding the hot water tubing in concrete, the PEX tubing is laid in the grooves of pre-cut wood panels. This new method is ideal for remodeling and most new construction projects.

Heating System Tip: The hydronic under-floor heating system was first used by the Romans; there have obviously been significant developments since that time.
