Scottdel’s Radiance carpet cushion is specifically engineered for radiant floor heating systems when used in a properly designed radiant floor heating system with adequate insulation on the bottom side of the slab. Radiance is an excellent choice, it offers a firm yet elegant walk as well as maximum support for any carpet. Most importantly it has an R-value of approximately 1.0 and a typical carpet has an R-value of slightly more than 1.0; thus the total R-value of the floor covering system is just slightly more than 2.0. Radiance will not `dry’ out, crumble or have any adverse effect on the performance of the floor covering and heating systems.
