Heat Transfer Plates over Onix?

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.)

    I have some Watts PLates

    I actually have some of those plates.

    Next time I am there I will try them out.

    Thanks,
