Add Radiant Floor Heat Without a Slab Pour
Low-profile hydronic panel options install over an existing subfloor or slab, helping control floor build-up for kitchens, baths, additions, basements and whole-home remodels.
Comfort Upgrade Without Major Construction
Skip extensive demolition and long downtime. Our panels install over existing subfloors or slabs, adding minimal height while bringing quiet, even heat to kitchens, baths, basements, and whole-home projects.
Quick hits:
- Slim build-up to keep doors and transitions in spec
- Fast warm-up for daily set-backs and quick comfort
- Even room temps without ducts or drafts
- Low-temp operation that works with today’s heat pumps
What Changes and What Stays the Same
Cold floors, uneven temps, higher thermostat swings.
Warm surfaces, steady comfort, and water temps tuned for efficiency. Most projects keep existing framing and finishes intact.
Solutions for Every Application
The right path depends on build-up tolerance, existing surfaces, timeline, and heat source.
Over-Subfloor Panels
(most remodels)
- Why: Heat sits close to the finish floor for faster warm-up and consistent surface temps.
- Good fit: Wood subfloors, upstairs spaces, room-by-room renovations.
- WBI options: Ecowarm® RadiantBoard® for responsive performance; ThermalBoard™ when you need the slimmest profile.
Over-Slab Panels
(basements, garages & existing concrete slabs)
- Why: Panel + insulation options help reduce downward heat loss to colder slab layers and improve response.
- Good fit: Basements, bonus rooms, garage conversions, slab-on-grade homes.
- WBI options: Ecowarm® RadiantBoard® EPS / ThermalBoard™ EPS (panel systems designed for slab retrofits).

Keep the Look Gain the Comfort
- Works beautifully under tile/stone and engineered wood; many vinyls are compatible too.
- Laminate note: Always check the laminate flooring manufacturer’s guidance and follow all recommendations.
- We’ll help you select a profile that keeps door clearances and transition heights right where they should be.
Why the Panels Feel So Good
- Heat near the surface makes rooms feel warm sooner.
- Low-temperature performance pairs with modern heat pumps and efficient boilers.
- Even surface temps from optimized tube spacing and aluminum coverage.
- Over-slab options with EPS help reduce heat loss to the slab for better real-world comfort.
Where Radiant Shines in Retrofits
- Kitchens & baths that need quick heat and durable surfaces
- Basements that were always a bit chilly
- Primary suites for year-round comfort
- Whole-home upgrades with minimal disruption
- Walls & ceilings when floor height can’t change (great for basements with fixed headroom)
- Garages

Frequently Asked Questions
Will radiant make my floors too tall?
We offer slim build-up options designed for remodels. We’ll help you choose a profile that keeps door and trim clearances in spec.
Can I install radiant over my existing slab?
Yes. Our over-slab panel + insulation options help reduce downward heat loss and improve response in basements and bonus rooms.
Will it work with a heat pump?
Yes. Panels are designed for lower water temperatures, making them an excellent match for modern heat pumps.
Is demolition required?
Typically minimal. Over-subfloor and over-slab panels often install without major tear-out.
Can I use laminate or vinyl?
Many products work—but always check the flooring manufacturer’s guidance and follow all recommendations; some laminates require separation from the heat source.
Do you provide design assistance?
Yes—panel takeoffs, spacing, and water-temperature guidance.
