Who uses Roth Radiant?

Ted_9

I have never used it. How well does it install. I use Stadler/Viega products now. I'm just looking for alternative products.

I'm also wondering about the floor panels that they have. Any comments on how well they install?

I installed about 350 sq.ft. in my home this summer. The installation was a snap. Four days from the time I had carpet in the finished basement to panels installed, tube & manifold connected, tested, laminate flooring installed and system operational. All that by myself with two under 6 helpers.

Here is a link to pictures of the install.

They install well, and they are insulated to limit backside loss

losses. I would recommend using silicone to keep the tube quiet in the panels as they heat up. It cuts well on a table saw. We used a rotary drill to open a floor outlet through the panel. I used 12" on center, except near the outside wall. If you want to use 6" spacing that is ok too. We needed to make custom turns out of the extra foam boards that they supply. I think the pictures I currently have are only "thumbnails". I run my two small areas of radiant off of a small water heater (electric). The Roth is in our bedroom. It will be about 20 degrees by morning outside, so the heat is on. It is very nice. We have carpet, w/ thin felt padding over luan.

Looks great! How quick is the response time and what temp is water?

Basically injecting at about 90 - 95 degrees using continuous flow through the tubes. Floor sensors max the floor at 82 degrees. Response time is fast. My six year old phoned and left a message on my cell phone the other day to ask me when I was going to finish the rest of the basement. So I guess they like the feeling of the floor.

I didn't use silicone on my install and only experienced expansion noise on start-up, floor is really quiet due to the continuous flow.

Nice job. It makes for a nice install.

as a follow up, since I'm interested in this stuff as well, is anyone noticing a problem with floor "bounce" or "softness" with this stuff over a slab? Have to admit I'm a bit skeptical about having the foam be a structural component that close to a floor surface.

In my install there is no bounce, I secured the panels to the concrete as directed using PL300 adhesive. The laminate flooring doesn't seem to exhibit any additional bounce than what I would expect with the foam underlay for the laminate. Really solid.
