Radiant Heating: What Is It?
Radiant flooring circulate warm water through PEX tubing embedded in the floor of your home. The heat radiates up through the floor, warming the people, furnishings and air in the room. The warmth stays down around where the people are, not up at the ceiling or lost to the outdoors every time a door or window is opened. It’s a comfortable, even heat where cold spots and drafts are eliminated.
CPHH Uses Wirsbo/Uponor Radiant Heating Products
The backbone of Uponor Radiant Heating Systems is the PEX tubing. Since the tubing is covered during installation, it’s important to choose a quality, proven product made by a reputable manufacturer. We offer a range of flexible tubing products to meet the specific needs of your project. PEX is an acronym for cross-linked polyethylene, the raw material used to make PEX and the “X” refers to the cross-linking of the polyethylene across its molecular chains.
