“Striping.” What it is and why it matters.
With a radiant floor heating system, the tubing beneath the floor emanates the heat. This heat radiates out across the floor, keeping the the surface warm. But understandably, the further you get from the tubing, the less intense the heat becomes. This difference in temperatures across the surface of the floor is called “striping”. To ... “Striping.” What it is and why it matters.
Feeling the wrong temperature at the wrong time of the day from your radiant system? It’s called “overshoot.”
It’s a common issue with high mass systems. They produce too little heat in the morning, so you turn up the heat. As the day warms, and the interior of your house gets too warm, you turn the heat off – but the high mass continues to produce heat for several hours. The only solution ...

Energy savings features on thermostats don’t work with radiant heat. Except when they do.
In many states, programmable (set back) thermostats are required to allow for energy savings at night when you are sleeping. But this is a problem with high mass radiant systems because it takes too many hours to reduce their heat output. Fast response Warmboard works quite well with night time set back, saving additional energy ... Energy savings features on thermostats don’t work with radiant heat. Except when they do.

High Mass versus Low Mass in a Radiant System
Slab heating systems Limitations In the past, radiant heat had a good reputation for comfort once the floor reached the correct temperature. But the high mass systems which were common in the 1950’s took many hours (or days) to reach the correct temperature. Given a blank sheet of paper, no engineer familiar with the laws ...
