  • We position insulation materials to create optimal thermal barriers without interfering with radiant heating system components. Our installation technique accommodates tubing layouts while maintaining continuous insulation coverage across floor areas. We secure insulation materials to prevent shifting during construction or system operation. Proper placement directs heat upward into living spaces while preventing downward heat loss through subfloors, maximizing system efficiency and reducing operating costs.

  • Our fastening methods keep insulation materials properly positioned throughout the radiant system's operational life. We use appropriate mechanical fasteners, adhesives, or support systems based on insulation type and installation conditions. Proper securing prevents settling, sagging, or displacement that could create thermal gaps or reduce system efficiency. We inspect fastening systems to verify long-term reliability and adjust as needed to maintain optimal insulation positioning.

  • We verify proper radiant system operation before installing insulation to identify any issues requiring attention. Our testing procedures include pressure testing for hydronic systems and continuity testing for electric systems. We secure heating components to prevent damage during the final installation phases while maintaining proper spacing for thermal expansion. This comprehensive approach prevents callbacks and maintains warranty coverage for heating and insulation components.

  • Our final installation phase includes properly placing subflooring or underlayment materials over completed insulation systems. We select appropriate panel materials that complement both insulation and radiant heating components. Installation techniques prevent compression of insulation materials while providing stable surfaces for finish flooring. We maintain proper clearances around heating system components and create smooth transitions between floor areas to support various flooring materials.
