Aluminum Radiant Floor Panel

mike_mech

Hello All

  I was wondering if anyone knows of a aluminum floor panel for hydronic radiant heat that you would use for a concrete over pour.  I had someone tell me that they have seen an aluminum panel that has grooves for the tubing to seat in and there is no insulation and/or rubber or plastic either.  It is just a straight aluminum panel.  Has anyone heard of such an animal?  Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Not quite sure what you're looking for here -- where would the tubing g?  Above the plate?  Below the plate?  Either way you have to put it somewhere.



Is the concrete poured on grade?  If so, you're going to want some insulation between the tubing and the slab.  http://www.roth-usa.com/products_radiant_panelsystem.cfm is the best solution I know of for this application.

R=0.5 won't do much for downward losses with slab on grade.



Roth panel is R=3.7 or R=4.5 but it's not cheap.  I wish we had a viable domestic alternative.
