A. I. M. Radiant Heating provides-products and consulting for your residential, commercial & greenhouse radiant heating needs.
The University of Nevada Las Vegas conducted independent research and discovered that radiant barrier insulation can reduce energy consumption by up to 35% during peak hours in the summer and by up to 29% over extended periods. Our radiant barrier products are the leading products on the market used by home owners, new home builders, and agricultural and manufacturing enterprises.
All radiant barriers must have a low emittance (0.1 or less) and high reflectance (0.9 or more). Of these factors, the angle the heat wave strikes the surface has the most influence on how well any shiny surface acts as a thermal insulator.

The Barrier Insulation - High Performance Under Concrete Radiant Floor Insulation March 06, 2008 The Barrier Insulation - High Performance Under Concrete Radiant Floor Insulation The Barrier™ under concrete thermal insulation and vapor retarder is a high-performance, simple to use and labor saving product for all of your under-slab, under concrete, and radiant floor insulation projects.
What Is Bubble Foil Insulation Radiant Barrier Radiant GUARD™ Bubble Reflective Insulation Provides Multiple Benefits RadiantGUARD™ Bubble insulation products consist of two layers of bubble material laminated between layers of aluminum foil to provide excellent thermal resistance. The bubble contains an air retention layer designed to provide increased strength and puncture resistance.
Insulation Board Warmup Insulation Boards will save you money when used in conjunction with radiant floor heating by acting as a very efficient thermal barrier. They reflect the radiant heat upwards instead of allowing the heat to be absorbed by the concrete, saving time and money as the heaters ramp up.
Adds Value to Your Home - There are many other potential implementations of radiant heat in your home such as heating your garage or melting snow from your driveway in winter. A radiant heating system will increase the value of your home more than it costs to install.
Electric-resistance radiant floor heating works like a toaster. When electric current travels through electric wiring, it generates heat.

In-Floor Radiant Heating Application Information Sheet (107KB PDF) Radiant floor heating directs heat upward into the room. To ensure effective operation of the system, particularly for over slab floor designs, insulation is an important consideration.
Design Prior to the installation of a system, a qualified floor-heating specialist should make a heating-load estimate of your home on a room-by-room basis. The heating-load estimate will assist in an efficient system design.
Heated water or an antifreeze mixture is circulated in flexible tubing looped through a network above or below the subfloor. Most hydronic systems manufacturers find cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing or rubber tubing with an oxygen diffusion barrier superior to the older soft copper or steel tubing. Hydronic radiant floor systems pump the heated water through the tubing, effectively heating the flooring surface and radiating the heat to be absorbed by the surroundings. The PEX and rubber tubing are pliable and less susceptible to corrosion in pumping the heated fluid through the tubing past other metal components present in the pumps, fasteners, and couplers. The flexible tubes are filled with water or an antifreeze fluid combination. This water is then heated by a traditional boiler, water heater, or solar collector and pumped through the tubing. The flexible tubes heat the slab, which then radiates the heat from the slab to the living area of the basement. Types of Systems Each type of system will have unique advantages and disadvantages. Deciding on a type of system will be a largely personal choice based upon your long-term goals, installation and energy costs, amount of product system research, any preparations needed for waterproofing or foundation repairs, and the recommendations of a professional installer. Perhaps the most crucial factor for making the type of decision will be based upon whether the system is being installed in an existing home or a new construction building structure.
Significance and Use This test method is designed to provide a basis for estimating one aspect of the fire exposure behavior of exposed insulation installed on the floor of an open attic. The test environment is intended to simulate attic floor exposure to radiant heat conditions.
UV Protected Packaging for outdoor storage Ready For Concrete The Crete-Heat TM Insulated Floor Panel System, is an easily assembled modular board insulation, vapor barrier and radiant tube holding grid that allows for simplied installation of hydronic radiant floor heating systems in basements, garages, main floor slab on grade and above grade installations where concrete or gypcrete is normally used. The Crete-Heat TM Insulated Floor Panel System is 2 7/8" overall in thickness, with 2" of solid EPS foam providing an R-9.
Low-E and Radiant Floor Heating Radiant heating provides whole floor comfort. It eliminates drafts and dust problems from forced air and is invisible, no registers or radiators.
Warmboard Radiant Subfloor - Now there's a better way The benefits of radiant heating have been known for centuries-the Romans used it to heat their homes and baths-but it's taken until now to combine the science of thermo-dynamics with modern materials and construction methods to bring radiant heat out of the Stone Age. Typically, radiant heating systems involve a heavy slab of concrete, poured over closely spaced tubing, through which hot water is pumped-not much evolved from those ancient Roman systems.
Wood floors aren't terrible about letting heat escape, but even if you're utility bills haven't skyrocketed, you can be put off by the fact that your floor is too cold during the winter. Wood floor insulation is a great way to reduce your heating bills, give you a comfortable floor, and protect your wood flooring from the infiltration of moisture.
Reducing your heating and cooling costs is as simple as the installation of a thin sheet; Reflect-O-Tech's Radiant Barrier Insulation reflects 97 percent of all radiant energy. Our Radiant Barrier Insulation is installed to reduce summer heat gain and winter heat loss.

Hot Water Commercial Radiant Floor Heating The "Education and Visitors Center" has been transformed from a stone-walled barn dating back to approximately 1930 into a comfortable building using an Infloor® radiant floor heating system. The barn was in extremely good condition.
Technical data from the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC) have shown that in attics with R 19 attic floor insulation radiant barriers can reduce summer ceiling heat gains by 16 to 42 percent compared to an attic with the same insulation level and no attic radiant barrier. (These figures are for the average reduction in heat flow through the insulation path.
