Hydronic #RadiantFloor Heating systems have been around for millennia, and they still present the most efficient way of keeping our buildings warm.

Get The Most Of Your Radiant Floor Heating System:

🔥 Use mass, such as a concrete slab, to amplify the heat and distribute it evenly
🔥 Make sure the heat doesn’t escape downward by providing insulation beneath the piping — Heat-Sheet works great for this purpose and makes installation a breeze
🔥 Get a professional to size and design your system.

Each Halo product has a unique feature that translates into a tangible benefit for the builder💪

✅ 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮 boards let you build without an additional vapor barrier and serve as a thermal/ignition barrier in the US.

✅ 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮’s perforated laminate eliminates your need for house wrap while letting vapor escape the wall cavity.

✅ 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮’s resilient laminate effectively diverts water away from foundation walls and protects the GPS foam core from job site damage.

All these products share one key ingredient — they’re all made with a highly efficient, low-carbon GPS foam core.

“This partnership enables the ICF and #readymixconcrete industries to support the very worthy #HabitatForHumanity effort on a national level and gives us a great opportunity to set an example for how we should be building resilient communities across the country.”

Assuming natural gas as the fuel source, the projected carbon emissions for an average 1,600 sq ft home for heating and cooling in a cold climate is about 8,200 lbs of operating carbon per year.

NEW IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER

As companies adjusted their products to meet new regulations that banned the use of blowing agents HFC-134A and HFC-142B, many XPS manufacturers simply tweaked a few components rather than addressing the big picture.

"It's What's Inside That Counts"

While we've all heard the saying, when it comes to LOGIX PRO™, a durable concrete core pairs perfectly with the rugged 2 3/4” foam panels for a typical wall assembly R-value of R25.

Our most popular form is also one of our favorites when dealing with successful and efficient winter construction 👍
