Convective Radiant

The Ultra-Fin Radiant Floor Heating System™ is a hydronic heating system designed specifically for wood frame homes and buildings. Ultra-Fin™ features a unique patented design that makes it easy to install, delivers exceptional cost efficiency and comfort, and works with all floor coverings including hardwood, carpet, tile, and slate.

How Ultra-Fin™ works
The design behind the Ultra-Fin Radiant Floor Heating System™ revolutionizes the world of hydronic heating. Most hydronic radiant heat technologies rely on some form of direct heat contact transfer between hot water tubing and concrete slabs or metal transfer plates. Ultra-Fin™ innovates by utilizing the power and efficiency of convection.

Efficient Convection
With the Ultra-Fin Radiant Floor Heating System™, hot water tubing is installed in the joist spaces below the floor. As hot water travels through the tubing, the heat is conducted to light-weight louvered aluminum Ultra-Fins™ attached to the tubing. The Ultra-Fins™ transfer heat to the air between the joists, generating convection currents that warm the entire floor above quickly and efficiently.  It’s a process that provides big cost savings over other radiant floor heating systems, together with faster response and superior comfort.

Simple Engineering   
Many radiant heat systems require special engineering and hours of labor for installation. Floor structures have to be reinforced to support heavy concrete slabs, or hours of extra work are needed to secure the hot water tubing in precisely the correct orientation.  Ultra-Fin™ is much simpler.

With the Ultra-Fin Radiant Floor Heating System™, the tubing simply runs through the open joist spaces and the aluminum Ultra-Fins™ are clipped on quickly. As a result, installation is relatively easy and requires much less time than the majority of radiant floor heating systems. It also makes Ultra-Fin™ ideal for retrofitting older homes and renovation projects with radiant heat.
