| Concrete on grade with insulation Install 1"-2" of Styrofoam board insulation on grade. Then lay down wire mesh and attach the Kitec pipe to it. Pour concrete on top. |
| Topping pour on suspended floor Attach Kitec directly to the top of the wooden sub floor. Fill the cavity between the floor joints under the sub floor with regular batt insulation, pipe in a 1"-1½" layer of lightweight concrete. Excellent for ceramic tile floors. |
| Concrete on grade with insulation Lay down a 1"-2" layer of Styrofoam board insulation. Install Kitec directly on Styrofoam board. Embed pipe in a 1"-1½" layer of concrete. Excellent for retrofitting basements. |

| Sleeper system, with sub floor under pipe Install Kitec pipe at right angles to the floor joints directly on top of the sub floor. Between the length of pipe, install continuous length of strapping, or sleepers, to bear the weight of next sub floor. Fill the cavity between the floor joints under the sub floor with regular batt insulation, ensuring there is no air gap. This system can be used with or without heat transfer piston. |
| Under driveways and walks Kitec pipe can be embedded in concrete or installed in sand under asphalt for exterior snowmelt applications. A layer of insulation should be installed under the pipe for added efficiency, and ethylene or propylene glycol must be added to the water to protect against freeze up. NOTE: Do not use auto antifreeze as it will foul metal components and ruin pump seals. |
| Advantages of Kintec Tubing Ideal Heat Distribution: Warm at the floor and coolest near the ceiling. Energy Efficient: Save up to 30% bover forced air. Set thermostat 6-8 degrees lower and still be comfortable. Clean: Less dust movement. Great for people with allergies. Comfortable: Even temperatures, no drafts or cold spots. Does not take humidity out of the air. Quiet: No fans or blowers. Convenient: No restrictions or placement of furniture. Versitile: Can be used in basement floors, subfloors, shops, etc. |
| Benefits of Kintec Tubing Easy to work with: Can be laid by hand without the use of tools. Stays where it's put, no springing back Greater Heat Transfer Aluminum is a better conductor than plastic. 100% Oxygen Tight: No worry about oxygen permeation into heating system. Small Heat Expansion: Similar to copper. Flexible: Because of Kintec's Flexibility, up to 55% fewer fittings are needed. Can be located with a metal detector: A must for attaching flooring after the project is completed. (Remodeling, adding walls in basements, bolting down a piece of equipment in a shop, etc.) Economical Tubing costs are the same as, or less than, many other types on the market. Corrosion Free Will not be effected by oil, etc. spilled in shop floors. |

ADVANTAGES
The upside down logic of forced air
In homes with forced air heating systems, most of the warmth collects at the ceiling. As the air cools, it migrates down to
the floor. This "ceiling down" condition creates a "cold feet/hot head" layering effect that is not comfortable or efficient.
WarmRite Floor delivers "floor up" warmth that makes sense
With a WarmRite Floor radiant heating system, the entire floor is one even-temperature surface that is constantly radiating
warmth to every object in the room. Heat is continuously absorbed, so body temperature remains constant. Air stays
humid and feels comfortable because it isn't being dried out by a forced air furnace. Homes built with a WarmRite Floor
radiant heating system typically consume 10% to 30% less energy.
Here's Why:
* Lower indoor air temperatures can be maintained for equal home comfort.
* Low temperatures above head level cause reduced loss through the ceiling.
* Less indoor air movement and layering means lower heat loss through walls.
* Heat loss due to air filtration and drafts is reduced.
There's a radiant heating solution for every room in the house.
