Heat Transfer Plates over Onix?

Rob Blair
Member Posts: 227
Have a staple up job, not mine, that will not produce enough heat.
Has Onix just hanging. Bubble wrap below, then R-19 fiberglas.
250 year old house with 20" stone walls.
I know they need supplemental but would like to get the floor heat working a little better.
Thanks,
Rob

You might want to inquire about
the Watts FlexPlate (flexible graphite heat transfer plates.) I was not impressed with the minimal contact they achieved with 1/2" PEX, but Onix has a larger OD (which I'm now thinking the FlexPlate may have actually been designed to work with.)0 -
I have some Watts PLates
I actually have some of those plates.
Next time I am there I will try them out.
Thanks,
