SRT Product Advantages vs Poured<\/a> <\/p>\nJust to name a few advantages, our panels arrive cured, so there is no moisture problem to deal with, and no structural weight issues to deal with. Our installation process is very simple and requires only a screw gun as opposed to a large crew and heavy equipment. Our panels can be installed in less than a day and have thermal mass characteristics equal to cement or gypcrete. Also, poured floors have been known to degrade over time, and since the hydronic tubing runs unprotected in the concrete, it is possible that degradation could fracture the cement and rupture the tubing. Our panels also solve this problem because our thermal mass is waterproof and incased in a strong (HIP) plastic base that protects the tubing.<\/p>\n
In the last decade \u201cwarm floors\u201d have become a sought after luxury item in high end homes and renovations. There are a number of modular radiant products on the market that provide warm floors to homeowners, but in most cases these items sacrifice a lot in terms of efficiency. You can buy wooden radiant heat panels, panels made from aluminum, foam, types of plastic, electric mats, and even \u201cstaple-up\u201d products that are fastened to the underside of the subfloor (for example you would staple these products to the ceiling of your basement to heat the first floor). These products are good at providing somewhat comfortable floors, but most are not very efficient. When deciding upon the radiant system that is right for you, it is important that you differentiate between radiant floor products with poor thermal mass properties and the evolutionary products from Seneca Radiant Technology.<\/p>\n
Seneca Radiant Technology offers the luxury and comfort people are seeking in these products, but it comes as part of some of the most innovative and efficient heating systems available in the market today.\u00a0 We can give you warm floors, improved indoor air quality and environments, as well as drastically lower heating bills and maintenance costs. In addition, our products are made using recycled materials.\u00a0 Our evolutionary products provide the opportunity to improve your own environment, save money, and do the right thing by reducing energy use and the amount of waste making its way to landfills.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
You can achieve good radiant thermal mass properties with a cement or gypcrete floor. However, if you are not using one of our products, the only way to get that cement\/gypcrete thermal mass is through a poured floor and these come with many problems. First, they can be expensive to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":7,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"page-right-sidebar.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.senecaradiant.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.senecaradiant.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.senecaradiant.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.senecaradiant.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.senecaradiant.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/www.senecaradiant.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":479,"href":"http:\/\/www.senecaradiant.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27\/revisions\/479"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.senecaradiant.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.senecaradiant.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
