What
is Hydronic Heating?
Hydronic heating uses hot water, distributed through a closed, balanced piping
network typically embedded in the floor, to warm the floor surface, effectively
turning it into a radiant panel. In this way, gentle, uniform heat is continually
and quietly directed where it is needed most - in the lower region of the room,
warming occupants from the floor up.
Modern hydronic radiant heating systems - such as IPEX WarmRite Floor®
using Kitec® XPA™ PEX-Al-PEX composite tubing - are extremely versatile.
They can be installed directly in slab and basement floors, stapled-up or hung
between floor joists, sandwiched between subfloors or encased in a topping pour
of light weight concrete under tile flooring in bathrooms, kitchens and foyers.
Radiant piping can also be installed behind drywall in walls and ceilings, or
connected to dedicated baseboard heaters and standalone panel radiators, making
it ideal for secondary heating or retrofit applications.
In addition to primary heating applications, today's hydronic radiant systems
can be used outdoors under walks and driveways for snow & ice melting, for
controlled heating in commercial garages, around pools and spas, or in agricultural
environments for greenhouses and animal enclosures. The variety of applications
is virtually limitless.
