ThermalBoard is a patent-pending radiant heating system employing a thermally coated composite wood product,  factory grooved to accommodate 3/8" nominal PEX tubing. The PEX tubing is tightly secured in the ThermalBoard groove resulting in excellent thermal transfer. Heat is transferred quickly and efficiently to the finished floor goods and the conditioned interior space.

Application

ThermalBoard is primarily intended for attachment to new or existing plywood sub floors or walls in residential or commercial new construction or retrofit radiant floor applications. ThermalBoard may also be used over existing concrete slabs.

Installation

ThermalBoard is applied just before finished flooring goods. It is screwed to the subfloor in a pattern determined by the designer or installer. PEX radiant tubing (3/8" nominal) is snapped into place flush with the surface of the ThermalBoard Hardwood flooring can be applied directly. Refer to ThermalBoard installation manual.

Superior Performance

ThermalBoard provides fast reaction time due to Warm Coat aluminum thermal coating. Twice the responsiveness of gypsum based concrete.

Light Weight

At 2.5lb./sq/ft/, ThermalBoard is a minimum of five times lighter than concrete or gypsum based concrete, thus avoiding joist up-sizing and seismic weight concerns.

A Quality Flat Surface

ThermalBoard provides a surface as flat as your sub floor for secure, quality attachment of finished floor goods. Truly flat floors are often difficult and/or expensive to achieve with poured concrete products.

Easy Installation

ThermalBoard installs quickly and avoids the costly scheduling problems of separate sub contractors and project delays for concrete curing.

Economical

ThermalBoard avoids the significant extra costs of double plating, up sized joists, glue down tack strips and hardwood nailing strips... and it performs better!

Ideal For Finished Floors

Tile, carpet, linoleum or hardwood can be attached easily to ThermalBoard with tubing easily avoided.

Right Profile/Right Tubing

The low profile (5/8") reduces transition and height problems while accommodating the most popular and economical radiant tubing size (3/8" nominal).

CAD Layout Service

CAD layout is available at a reasonable cost.
