How to Install a Radiant
Floor Heating System
Beautiful Heat
Different Ways To Install A Radiant
Floor Heating System
• Radiant heating systems are a
very effective and energy-efficient
way to warm a home in the winter.
They are known for providing
soothing and consistent heat. The
systems are also flexible and can
easily accommodate different
layouts and types of flooring.
There are several different radiant
heat installation techniques
available depending on the home.
Choosing the Right System
• There are two basic radiant
heating systems available to
homeowners. The simplest system
consists of a series of mats. The
mats are made from mesh and
have electrical cables spread
across the surface. Mats are very
easy to install both above and
below the floor. They can be
hooked into electrical system of
the home with little difficulty and
have no moving parts.
Choosing the Right System
• The other option is a hydronic
heating system. This system uses
a series of pipes to carry hot water
under the floor. Hot water systems
are the preferred form of radiant
heat installation for larger homes.
Hot water can also be more cost-
effective. The drawback is that
installation is complex and
requires some special skill.
Dry Installation
•
The easiest form of radiant heat installation is called a dry installation. This
can be done in an existing home. Dry installation involves covering the floor
or the subfloor with electrical cables or mats. The mats are usually tacked or
stapled directly to the floor. Some houses will require another material under
the cables in order to reflect the heat and protect the structure. The installed
mats or cables are then covered in another material such as ceramic tile or
vinyl. Thin carpets can be used as a cover although thicker carpets will
block the heat from passing into the room. The electrical cables are
connected together and attached to a control box and the electrical system
in the home.
Wet Installation
• A wet radiant heat installation is commonly done when dealing with new
construction or a home that is having the floors completely renovated. A wet
installation creates a very solid and efficient system although it also requires
special equipment and skills. The first step is to cover the subfloor with
concrete boards or another material. This is unnecessary for rooms or
basements that already have a concrete base. Electric cables, radiant heat
mats or tubes for hot water are then placed on top of the base. Wet
concrete or gypsum is poured over top of the radiant heat system locking it
into place. The concrete is allowed to cure before a decorative cover is
placed on top.
Underfloor Installation
• Hydronic radiant heat systems are
frequently installed under the
subfloor. This type of installation
requires a large amount of work
and access to the joists under the
floor from a location such as a
basement. The first step is to start
drilling holes through the joists that
are large enough to accommodate
the hot water tubing.
Underfloor Installation
• Different types of tubing will
require different spacing. The
second step is to thread the tubing
through the holes. One of the last
steps is to attach special heat
dissipation plates at key points in
order to spread the heat over a
larger area. The tubing needs to
be attached to a hot water system
or boiler.

Hot water systems are the preferred form of radiant heat installation for larger homes. Hot water can also be more cost- effective. The drawback is that installation is complex and requires some special skill.
  • 5. Dry Installation • The easiest form of radiant heat installation is called a dry installation. This can be done in an existing home. Dry installation involves covering the floor or the subfloor with electrical cables or mats. The mats are usually tacked or stapled directly to the floor. Some houses will require another material under the cables in order to reflect the heat and protect the structure. The installed mats or cables are then covered in another material such as ceramic tile or vinyl. Thin carpets can be used as a cover although thicker carpets will block the heat from passing into the room. The electrical cables are connected together and attached to a control box and the electrical system in the home.
  • 6. Wet Installation • A wet radiant heat installation is commonly done when dealing with new construction or a home that is having the floors completely renovated. A wet installation creates a very solid and efficient system although it also requires special equipment and skills. The first step is to cover the subfloor with concrete boards or another material. This is unnecessary for rooms or basements that already have a concrete base. Electric cables, radiant heat mats or tubes for hot water are then placed on top of the base. Wet concrete or gypsum is poured over top of the radiant heat system locking it into place. The concrete is allowed to cure before a decorative cover is placed on top.
  • 7. Underfloor Installation • Hydronic radiant heat systems are frequently installed under the subfloor. This type of installation requires a large amount of work and access to the joists under the floor from a location such as a basement. The first step is to start drilling holes through the joists that are large enough to accommodate the hot water tubing.
  • 8. Underfloor Installation • Different types of tubing will require different spacing. The second step is to thread the tubing through the holes. One of the last steps is to attach special heat dissipation plates at key points in order to spread the heat over a larger area. The tubing needs to be attached to a hot water system or boiler.
