This is becoming the build show but less obnoxious! Love it!!!
Keith, you’re the man. Love the channel
It seems like a good idea until you price it out. 😂
Great Information on this product and floor heating technology systems! - I would like to see more of the whole process from beginning stages to finished floor - Thanks Keith!
I like seeing and learning a little about new technologies. I’d love to see more of this from A to Z to help understand what’s possible.
Been looking into this because of heat pump efficiency at lower temperature differentials. Excited to watch
This is great! Thanks for the video. We are getting ready to do a adu. We will explore this.
It looks like the application of the self leveling compound has nearly covered the lower sole plate. This means that nailing your drywall to the lower sole plate won't be possible.
WarmBoard panels are crazy expensive ($400+ per 4x8 sheet). If you're building, just put PEX tubing under the slab with 2" of XPS under that. The slab will spread the heat uniformly due to its mass. If on second level, do it the traditional way with thinset or don't do in-floor heating on main level. We have a walkout one story home and put PEX under the lower level slab and added a furnace with ducting to the main level. Heat rises, so the lower level slab will assist with heat for the second level. You need ducting for AC anyway, so adding a furnace with AC was a no brainer. If you're building and want in-floor heating on the main level, have the framing drawn show a 2" drop floor where you want that, like in a bathroom, and do thinset over the tubing to keep the floor transition the same height as the adjacent floors. It'll be cheaper and just as effective IMO.
In zone 6, that's the way most new homes have HVAC. I think WarmBoard makes more sense for retrofits and not for new construction, where you can remove the subfloor, use WarmBoard panels, and not add much additional height to existing floors, vs. tubing over existing subfloor plus thinset. In-floor heating is great for lower levels since that space is cold year round. This is our first home with basement in-floor heating and it's fantastic.
Not everyone builds a ranch on slabs.
@@silverbackag9790 All new homes have slabs, either with no basement or with a basement.
I'm currently torn with this same exact decision Warmboard was a consideration until I had them quote our project currently I'm leaning towards a product called radiant board which is similar wondering if any HVAC guys or anybody with experience could weigh in I'm a most certainly doing radiant in our lower level which is 2,200 sq ft
4" slab on grade.
The panels for the MF are @ 26k for 2200 sq ft. That's just the material. This particular home will also need air handlers for the AC so just wondering if the original commenters words to be words of good advice lower level radiant and then do the balance of the home with regular forced air units?
How would this compare to a Schluter electrically heated floor system in terms of cost and efficiency? Thank you!
I'm gonna say this is much more expensive to install and much cheaper to run compared to resistive electric heat. This is a niche product with some interesting features for people with lots of money. You could put in a hot water radiant system for far less $.
A good cheap way to heat a house!
I need to see more about how hardwood flooring is installed.
Can you install LVP / LVP over it?
If you use self leveler to install tiles, what kind of a mess would you have if the tiles were ever removed? I really don't like removing tile. Can you tell? 😂
Would this replace the need for a furnace and duct work? If so what would the options be for cooling the home in summer? Northern Utah.
Yes. I think you still need some ductwork if you want AC….
No furnace, but the heat has to come from somewhere.
You can use some type of boiler ( I know someone that uses a tankless water heater) Or you can use geothermal.
ask him how to find a leak and fix it. after that suddenly you will realize that classic way to heat is better and cheaper for service.
as well ask him how to prepare the system for heat shut down for all winter long
If using PEX in a continuous loop with no fittings under a slab, there would be no leaks unless you drill into it. How many homes get leaking PEX behind walls, even with buried fittings? Very few and most likely installer error with fittings. I know, new things are hard for some to comprehend. "We've always done it that way and nothing else will ever work better".
Winter shut down: Code requires glycol in the subfloor tubing for areas that can freeze, like garages. So if you have a seasonal building where the heat is shut down, you need antifreeze. Logic can't fix stupidity or teach writing skills.
