Radiant
Floor Heating
You thoughtfully
chose each color,
each fabric,
every detail,
all to give your
home a feeling
of warmth.
Only to find that
real warmth is
hidden beneath
the floor.

A warm and cozy home begins
with radiant floor heating from Uponor.
With Uponor radiant floor heating, every inch of your home feels
comfortable. Even bathrooms, entryways and basements are as warm and
cozy as the living room — that’s because radiant floor heating offers the
most even, energy-efficient temperatures throughout the entire home.
The idea is simple…
Because hot air rises to the ceiling,
forced-air heating systems are
significantly inefficient and provide
uneven temperatures throughout a
home. Uponor radiant floor heating
systems circulate warm water through
crosslinked polyethylene (PEX)
tubing located beneath the floor —
keeping the heat at your feet.
Radiant floor heating systems work
with all types of flooring surfaces,
including carpet, wood, tile, stone,
laminate and concrete. In fact,
radiant systems can even be used
to melt snow and ice from driveways
and walkways, eliminating the need
to salt or shovel.
And because radiant systems work in
“zones”, you can adjust temperatures
in different areas of the home at the
same time. So unoccupied rooms
have a different temperature than
occupied rooms — making the system
even more energy-efficient.

Thinking Beyond the Floor
Radiant isn’t only for the floor. Use radiant heat to warm the surfaces
in a tub surround or shower — even create fogless mirrors. And for
the ultimate comfort, you can add radiant to your towel bars! Just think
about the inviting warmth of a cozy towel straight out of the dryer.
That’s the same feeling you will get with a heated towel bar.
