The 2008 Season of “This Old House” in Weston, Massachusetts premiers the use of Crete-Heat Radiant Floor Panel Systems in the basement of a pre-fab home. The crew of TOH installs the panels and tubing in time for the arrival of the concrete trucks. With temperatures soaring over 100 degrees it was imperative that it was installed accurately and quickly so the concrete could be poured when the trucks arrived. Thanks to the labor savings of the Crete-Heat panels it was accomplished ahead of schedule. When you require radiant installation to be simplified, look no further than Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel Systems. Check us out at www.crete-heat.com or call (920) 948-3738
If you want energy efficiency, uniform warmth and freedom from respiratory ailments, hydronic or radiant floor heating is the green way to go. It gently warms a room or structure from the ground up through a series of hot water tubing in the subfloor. What better way to keep it warm and cozy than blue jean insulation? Easy to install, breathable, formaldehyde free and good for the environment. Find out all about these and other healthy choices for you and the planet on Building Green TV.
CPVC is used for hot water transfer in homes and business. Solar rooftop projects require heated water or heat exchange liquid to sometimes travel a long distance through piping exposed to cool or very cold temperatures. A lot of solar thermal heat can be lost from collector to water heater tank , radiator, or radiant floor heaters. This works under water and in subterranean installation prevent wet ground from leaching heat. Also prevents freeze overs for up to 10 hours in -10c with no circulation. This vacuum design costing about .30 a linear foot can be easily made. After doing one unit you can average about 30 minutes per section. This is fine for subterrain
Easy. Fast. Lower Labor Costs. Creatherm Radiant Instalation Panles being installed. 1/2″ Viega Pipe.
Creatherm radiant floor panels, manufactured out of BASF Styropor EPS and Neopor, offer contractors an innovative foam installation process that saves time and money. Creatherm radiant floor panels are easily installed. Interlocking panels help reduce labor costs and improve installation efficiences by allowing for percise tube layout that eliminates the need to tie, clip, staple or screw the hydronic tubing to the substrate. Save Energy. Enjoy Carefree Comfort. Protect the Environment. More efficient technology means it takes less energy to heat and cool a building to the same degree. The payoff: a better balance for the environment, the building and the owner. It really is a great feeling to know that you can help keep a building warm in the winter and cool in the summer without sacrificing a commitment to conserve resources.
The Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel System is an easily assembled modular board insulation, vapor barrier, and radiant tube holding grid. It allows for simplified installation of hydronic radiant floor heating systems in basements, garages, main floor slab on grade and above grade installations where concrete or gypcrete is normally used. Each interlocking panel, available in either 1 inch or 2 inch thicknesses of Expanded Polystyrene, covers up to 8 square feet with fasteners for 1/2″, 5/8″, 3/4″ and 7/8″ radiant tubing. A 10-mil High Impact Polystyrene film thermoformed on to the EPS Foam provides the vapor barrier. Visit www.crete-heat.com for further information. Proudly made in the USA. *****ADDITIONAL NOTES REGARDING VIDEO***** Laying of the panels showing the ship-lap interlock backwards was due to a last minute request to videotape. Some of the panels were taken up to begin videotaping that segment again and the panels were from the end of the building where the last panels were installed,resulting in what showed the ship-lap being backwards.Proper install is with the male half of the ship-lap facing upwards and the female portion connecting into it as the panels are installed. First time users loved this product. The project called for 2″ of insulation but the Crete-Heat Panels, which were donated for this job, were only available at the time in 1″, so the other 1″ insulation was used underneath to obtain the 2″ overall thickness.
