Designing Radiant Heating Panel Systems
WHY?
Radiant Heat Benefits: As you are reading this you probably already know that radiant heat eliminates the use of bulky and architecturally problematic ducts or wall terminal units, that radiant will be silent if properly installed, and is the go-to solution for delivering seamless comfort for areas with tall ceilings (radiant heats objects primarily and forced air heats air primary …that rises) but most of all…radiant is the most comfortable heating system in existence. Our panels address these needs by providing faster responding, low mass radiant heat with warm even heat across the floor…heat when your client wants it.
Comfort, Light and Silence: WBI radiant panels can play an important role in an overall energy balance of very high efficiency, a solar-powered strategy that will permit the use of larger windows for light airy spaces that are both silent and supremely comfortable.
Net Zero Energy Strategies: WBI radiant panels can play a part in a home net zero strategy with the perfect product match with ultra-efficient water-to-water geothermal heat pumps or air-to-water heat pumps to provide a cost-effective balance of solar electric panels and the space heating, cooling and domestic hot water delivery, all while providing superior comfort.

Superior Performance & Efficiency
Radiant Heat Panel Performance
Our radiant heat panels are highly efficient and fast responding. Our system was designed to supply lower water temperatures resulting in reduced operating costs to the owner. Our fast response system allows for rapid heating up and cooling down for easy control and comfort.
Fast Responding & Efficient
While energy efficiency may not be a feature of sustainability, it is a desirable feature for green homes. WBI aluminum laminated low mass systems are highly efficient methods for delivering hydronic heat – making our product part of broad-based carbon reduction strategies and an excellent technical partner with geothermal and air-to-water heat pumps in achieving Net Zero Energy building solutions.
Compatible with Hydronic Heat Pumps
