Q13. Can you help with gas-fired hydronic floor heating installation, in an existing apartment building.

Yes, although retro-fitting under slab hydronic heating requires a different approach to installation during construction.

Q15. What happens during under floor heating installation?

Before your slab gets poured, reinforcing mesh is laid out using purpose-designed mounts. High quality polyethlene under slab heat tubing is wound around the floor area in identified zones, and firmly secured. Careful attention is paid to ensure the in-floor heating components remain undisturbed as concrete is poured.

Q16. Can the hydronic floor heating temperature be controlled in every room?

In slab hydronic heating temperature is usually regulated by a number of separately controlled zones. Zones are planned according to your lifestyle needs and budgetary considerations.
