Warmboard Radiant Panel - An Architect's Review
In this video I review a new flooring product we've been using - Warmboard. Reasons to Consider Using Warmboard:
- Low mass radiant flooring option - fewer BTUs to get to operating temperature, faster response times
- Highly conductive aluminum face on subfloor - lower boiler temps, lower energy bills, geothermal/solar compatibility
- Fast install times - structural subfloor + heat tubing layout all-in-one
- Aluminum sheet diffuses heat along top surface of subfloor for even heating
- Compatible with multiple flooring types can be overlaid - hardwood, tile + carpet
- Zoning + panel layout design included in the price - assembly arrives with a numbered diagram for installation
- Tubing is visible on top face of subfloor - minimizes tubing penetrations via errant fasteners during floor finish application.
- 20% recycled content in alum. facing, OSB + Plywood panels are efficient use of natural resources
- Warmboard R (retrofit) can be used in renovation projects where floor build-up and thickness is a concern
