As the framers begin putting the floor systems in place, we have had to organize all the materials required for the wamth of our home. Geothermal heat exchange is what will provide the energy for heating the Ramsay House Project. The geothermal unit will heat water which will then be circulated through the flooring of the house.
To circulate the warm water through the floor of our house, we will be using the Warmboard Radiant Subfloor system.
The Warmboard company describes their Radiant Subfloor product as: a structural subfloor, Warmboard is stiff, strong and especially tough. It can be sawn with a Skilsaw and nailed or screwed directly to your floor joists just like any conventional subfloor. The same labor that would ordinarily install just a subfloor, installs a high performance radiant panel system, saving you time and labor from the very beginning. Other radiant heat systems are more labor intensive because they’re added either above or below the subfloor. Warmboard is the subfloor.
