Radiant Floor
Let's Cover The Types Of Radiant Floor Heating Models
Basically we've found three types of radiant floor heating systems: electric radiant floor systems; hot water or hydronics radiant floor systems, and radiant air floor systems (the heat is carried by an air medium);. All of these three types could very well be broken into smaller groups based on the type of installation: those that use the large thermal mass of a concrete slab floor or gypcrete concrete spanning a wooden subfloor (these are called "wet installations"); and those that the installer places the radiant floor tubing in between two layers of plywood or attaches the tubing underneath the finished floor or subfloor ("dry installations").
When considering this article we'll focus on the hot water or hydronic radiant floor heating system.
Hydronic Radiant Floors
Hydronic (liquid) solutions include the most widely used and cost-effective radiant heating systems for climates with extended heating seasons. Hydronic radiant floor systems push heated water originating from a boiler through tubing laid in a pattern under the floor. In many systems, the temperature in each room is regulated by regulating the flow of hot water through each tubing loop. This can be done utilizing a system of zoning valves or pumps and thermostats. The expense of installing a hydronic radiant floor varies by location and in many cases varies according to the size of the house, the kind of installation, the floor covering, remoteness around the site, along with the cost of labor.
So-called "wet" installations embed the cables or tubing inside a solid floor and therefore are the oldest method of modern radiant floor systems. The tubing or cable might be embedded in a thick concrete foundation slab generally associated with slab style homes with no basement or basement and garage floors or perhaps in a thin layer of concrete, gypcrete, or another material placed on surface of a subfloor. If concrete is used and the new floor just isn't on solid earth, additional floor support might be necessary as a result of added weight. This can be a strong recommendation that you ought to consult an experienced engineer to check the floor's carrying capacity.
Thick concrete slab systems have high heat capacity and therefore are suitable for storing heat from solar energy systems, which may have a fluctuating heat output in addition to geothermal heating sources or on demand tankless boilers. The downside with the thick slabs is their slow thermal response time, that makes strategies like night or daytime setbacks difficult or perhaps even impossible. Most experts recommend maintaining a consistent temperature in homes with these heating systems.
As a result of recent innovations in floor technology, so-called "dry" floors, in which the cables or tubing run within an air space beneath the floor, are actually gaining in popularity, considering that a dry floor is faster and less expensive to build. Try to remember that since dry floors involve heating an air space, the radiant heating system would need to operate at a higher temperature.
Some dry installations involve suspending the tubing or cables under the subfloor in between your joists. This process usually requires drilling across the floor joists so as to install the tubing. Reflective insulation must also be installed beneath the tubes to direct the warmth upward. Tubing or cables may perhaps be installed from above the floor, between two layers of subfloor. In these instances, liquid tubing is often fitted into aluminum diffusers that spread the water's heat along the floor in order to heat a floor more evenly. The tubing as well as heat diffusers are secured between furring strips (sleepers), which carry the load on the new subfloor and finished floor surface.
At least one company Warmboard has improved on this idea by developing a plywood subfloor material manufactured with tubing grooves and aluminum heat diffuser plates already a part of them. The producer claims that this product makes a radiant floor system for new construction or remodeling projects considerably less expensive to install and faster to react to room temperature changes. The Warmboard products also allow for using half as much tubing for the reason that heat transfer in the floor is greatly improved over more common dry or wet floors. You can learn more by going to my website where I've got installation videos on Warmboard and all other types of PEX radiant floor heating systems.

How to find radiant floor heating already installed?
We are looking to update a kitchen. We are going to have to dig up the floor and I dont want to rupture or cut into any preexisting lines what is the best way of finding the tubes so we dont cut them?
its all over the area. You have to take up the tiles first and leave the thinset base alone, then redo it over the existing thinset. lots of luck on that one. the tubes are set in a base and it depends on if there is cement board under the tiles.
