Odd Fellows Hall: A Historic Maine Landmark Reborn

LocationBrooklin, Maine

Size3,000 sq ft

ContractorRAB Associates

A landmark 1800s hall restored over three years into a wood boat building shop with loft apartments above. The first floor was lifted, a new radiant floor laid, and a 40-foot steel beam run down the center to open up the plan.

“Now it is essentially an open-floor plan and the big windows let in great light for working.”Robert Baird, RAB Associates

TheBuild.TV Chooses Ecowarm RadiantBoard For A Firehouse Rehab

ProjectFirehouse Conversion

ClientTheBuild.TV

ProductEcowarm RadiantBoard

Nine season HGTV favourite Anthony Carrino converted the Hook & Ladder Co. #3 firehouse into an urban residence. High ceilings, brick walls, early twentieth century industrial construction and multiple zones usually make comfort and budget difficult to reconcile.

Anthony selected Ecowarm RadiantBoard for its day to day comfort, heating efficiency, zone control and cost performance. He worked directly with Ecowarm staff from estimate to delivery, and the firehouse site plans were used to develop a panel by panel RadiantBoard floor plan.

“The product you guys make is incredible. I absolutely loved the install process.”Anthony Carrino, Build.TV

Spreading Oak Drive Spanish style home retrofitted with Ecowarm RadiantBoard

Residential Retrofit In A Luxurious Spanish Style Home

LocationScotts Valley, CA

Size4,200+ sq ft

Radiant InstallerRadiant Works

Spreading Oak Drive was completely gutted and retrofitted into a luxurious Spanish style home. Ecowarm RadiantBoard runs throughout the property, under custom tile work in all of the bathrooms and across a very open floor plan.

An open plan of this size is exactly where radiant earns its keep. Heat is delivered evenly across the whole floor area rather than from a handful of vents, so there are no hot and cold zones to design around and no ductwork competing with the architecture.

A Net Zero Home On Martha’s Vineyard

LocationEdgartown, Massachusetts

Size1,500 sq ft addition

ContractorPerformance Mechanical

Matt Millard heated a 1,500 sq ft addition on his own home with Ecowarm RadiantBoard EPS and a 2.5-ton air-to-water heat pump. Supply water runs 90–120°F, which keeps the heat pump working at a COP of 3.0 to 4.5.

“…the lower supply water temperature requirements of Ecowarm RadiantBoard results in higher heat pump capacity at low ambient temperatures we experience in New England.”Matt Millard, Performance Mechanical Inc.

InstallerDavid B., licensed plumber

ProductEcowarm RadiantBoard

David B. is a licensed plumber who built his own 3,000 sq ft home in Hartford, Wisconsin and installed the radiant himself. He chose Ecowarm RadiantBoard for its quick response time, which let him drop auxiliary heat for the shoulder months, and for precise temperature control.

In his words, he uses the engineered drawing as it is the best way to install.
