Radiant heating in a concrete floor is an efficient and comfortable way to heat a space by using the thermal mass of the concrete to store and distribute heat evenly. This method involves embedding heating elements or tubing within the concrete slab, which then radiates heat upward into the living space.
Insulating a radiant heat system in a concrete floor is crucial for maximizing efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. Proper insulation ensures that the heat generated by the radiant system is directed upwards into the living space rather than being lost into the ground below.
Use: SmartSHIELD 5MM White Film or Reflective White SmartBUBBLE.
How To Install Under Concrete Insulation
- Unroll SmartSHIELD 5MM White Film or Reflective White SmartBUBBLE WHITE SIDE UP
- Overlap seams 2". Let the material go up wall 6".
- Great for driveways, radiant floors and basements!
- Seal seams with Under concrete tape.
- Install wire mesh and piping system per manufacturer's recommendations.
