Radiant floor heating is quiet and unobtrusive as well as producing fewer allergens when compared to traditional heating methods.

Best Flooring Types for Radiant Floor Heating:

• Tile Flooring: Porcelain and ceramic tile are great conductors of heat, so your home will get the full benefit of the radiant heating system. In addition, tile flooring will not expand as it warms or contracts as it cools. Such expansion and contraction can cause cracking. That’s not a problem with tile.
• Laminate Flooring: Laminate flooring replicates the look of solid hardwood flooring or tile flooring without the expense. It also does a great job over radiant heat. The laminate material is built up with layers of wood that run in opposite directions. This creates a more stable material than solid hardwood. The laminate won’t expand and contract, in other words, like solid hardwood flooring wood.
• Engineered Wood Flooring: Like laminate, it is produced in layers, so it has a more stable base that won’t react to the heating and cooling process. The top layer, or wear layer, is solid wood and comes in all the same varieties that you’ll find with other solid hardwood floorings. Engineered flooring even comes in bamboo. It looks great, wears great, and warms great.
• Natural Stone Flooring: Granite, travertine, sandstone, and other natural stone flooring types conduct heat wonderfully. You might think of stone as cold, but not when it has got warm water flowing beneath it. If you never thought you’d like to walk on stone flooring bare-footed in January, you never considered radiant heat!
• Smart Technology: Simple remote monitoring via a computer or mobile device lets you control your generator and observe its performance from anywhere. It also notifies you and/or your Cummins dealer if any problems arise.
