Ra-flect™ Radiant Barrier in Radiant Heat Flooring:

Radiant heat floors are becoming very popular, however, they have a tendency to loose their heat to the space below.  Our Ra-flect™ Radiant Barrier will increase the efficiency of these radiant floors by reflecting the majority of this heat back into the conditioned space.

Installation Tips

• Perforated Ra-flect™ Radiant Barrier is recommended for this job
• Ra-flect™ Radiant Barrier should be sized in width to match your floor joist spacing
• Install Radiant Barrier directly beneath radiant heat tubing
• Staple in place or allow the material to rest on top of the floor insulation
• Add conventional insulation to the underside of the Radiant Barrier
• Widths for dimensional lumber - 26” (24” o.c.) or 18” (16” o.c.)
• Widths for manufactured floor joists - 24” (24” o.c.) or 16” (16” o.c.)
