HeatLink
Radiant Floor Heating
With Heatlink, you have your
choice of two types of systems, "wet" or "poured"
systems, where the PEX tubing is encased in a gypsum or concrete
based topping, and "dry" or "staple-up" systems,
where the PEX tubing is held against the underside of the subfloor.
Being that the Heatlink
system has to be installed in this manner, you see why it should be
installed while you are having your new home built.
The surface temperature of
the floor is designed to be no higher than 88 degrees F (31 degrees
C), so it's always comfortable to walk on. HeatLink
operates at the lowest possible water temperature to heat the
structure. This level provides the most efficient transfer of energy.
There are no wide temperature variations that you experience with
forced air or radiator systems. It's also quiet! There are no noisy
fans or radiator expansion noises to contend with, just quiet comfort.
Energy efficiency is one of the system's strong points because the
system delivers heat where it's needed, with little waste. A
thermostat can be put in every room of the house, and unoccupied rooms
can be set back to save energy.
