Warmboard is a product that is going into a lot of new homes, both prefab and conventionally built. The product integrates subfloor and a radiant heating system that allows builders to put down any hardwood, carpet, or tile flooring that they wish, in a way that they normally would. The product has won accolades from green building enthusiasts as it significantly reduces the difficulty of installing radiant heating, a system that generally saves a considerable amount of energy when compared to forced air systems.
Warmboard combines a structural subfloor and a thermodynamically sophisticated radiant panel into one simple component of your radiant heating system. Warmboard begins with a stiff, strong, 1-1/8″ thick, 4′ X 8′ sheet of tongue and groove, weather-resistant plywood. A modular pattern of channels is cut into the top surface. A thick sheet of aluminum is stamped to match the channel pattern and is permanently bonded to each panel.
