Radiant heat is the best way to turn a cold slab floor into a warm, inviting and usable space. This can be accomplished in a couple of different ways. The radiant installation method of choice will be determined by the desired finish floor surface and/or any floor height build up constraints. If wood flooring is to be used, the Climate Panel System should be installed. The other option is to install the tubing on top of the existing slab and pour another thin slab right over it. Height build up of the second slab layer would be a minimum of 1-1/2″.
