Above floor "dry" radiant panel suggestions

Member Posts: 96
Please offer any insight/experiences with an above floor modular panel system. I have looked into Roth, Watts, Raupanel and Uponor. The system will be installed in a concrete and steel custom home and the concrete decks have already been poured. Any insight greatly appreciated.

I like the Roth
best on that list. I like the tube spacing options. I like the foam as a cushion and thermal break. It's easy to cut, although messy, keep a shop vac nearby. Use a foam dispenser gun and adhesive made for foam use. I prefer the PAP tube also in any of the dry systems for ease of shaping and less expansion noise potential.

Thanks, HR
In your experience, does the Roth panel require plywood to be installed over it or is it "firm" enough to install either naildown hardwood, floating, cement board and tile etc directly over it?0 -
on my job
3/4 T&G hardwood, about 2-1/2" wide was nailed directly onto the Roth.
In the bathroom a 3/8" cement backer board was nailed over the Roth, then tile.
It worked out perfectly for the tile to match the hardwood at the transition points.
