What effect does heat loss have on Ultra-Finn vs staple up at the same floor temperature? rdtps70@hotmail.com

    Ultra-Fin can supply more heat to a given room, but it would mean a higher floor temperature.

    R U sure about that?

    ultra fin work on convection, staple up with heavy plates works by good old conduction.

    define \"staple up\"

    I prefer UF to bare tube stapled against the floor. If that is how you define staple up.

    UF work nice if you are adding to a HW baseboard system, no temperature mixing required.

    Best method, for retro fit would be the extruded transfer plates, with a mixed down temperature. Usually 100- 120 will work with transfer plates.
