Obviously a radiant floor panel system needs to be installed before the flooring. Because the Pex tubing is typically laid down right after the installation of the panels, it is very possible to incur in tubing damage. The newly installed radiant floor has to hold up many other building processes and extra care in the construction site is required.
Some radiant panel manufacturers suggest temporarily covering the floor with mesonite panels or thin plywood, to protect it from spillage, debris and heavy foot traffic throughout construction.
Radiant floor requires more complex panel layout
Radiant tubing needs to be laid down
Radiant floor has to hold up during different construction phases
Tubing gets damaged during construction
Temporary cover of the radiant floor during construction is recommended
In the construction phases, radiant floor installation occurs at the wrong time, interfering with other critical work and delaying the schedule
Working in a building site with floors covered by pipes that limit movement and delay work is not cost effective.
ray | magic radiant systems are typically installed on the ceiling directly to the framing (and walls, if needed), leaving the floor of the job site completely free of pipes. This way, pipes are at reduced risk from damage throughout the construction.
ray | magic dry installation technology speeds up and improves the over-all installation of the radiant surface and combine heating and ceiling drywall in one.
Easy to plan and design
Fast and simple installation
Radiant tubing is integrated in the panel
Floor free of pipes, clean job site
ray | magic is the drywall!
Each panel can be cut in smaller modules of different sizes to cover
all kinds of building needs
One source for the complete air-ray conditioning system
This is an obvious advantage for cost and time savings, and the job site is clean and tidy.
