A customer ask me if toxic vapors are released into the conditioned space by the glue and chemicals in the plywood or chipboard underlayment when it is heated to 115 degrees by the radiant tubing. They want the answer in writing from a known testing laboratory. Help !

    Although that seems like a reasonable question, it also may be a sign of a trouble install with a difficult customer.
    I'm sure many other professionals have discovered the signs.

    Vapours from radiant heating bedding

    In reply to the 114F temperature being put through a radiant heating system thats one hell of a temperature for a system thats supposed to run at 20 F or more below a standard wall radiator system. If it was designed to run at this temperature an alternative bedding system should have been used such as a screed floor (cement. With such a high running temperature a wooden floor over the top would also suffer.I'd say the wrong system was used
