Purchasing factory direct can provide 35% savings over leading high performance brands.
Ecowarm RadiantBoard is manufactured with top quality FSC® certified sustainably harvested plywood, aluminum with high recycled content and low VOC water based glue.
The low mass Ecowarm RadiantBoard radiant system responds much more rapidly to changing conditions than most radiant heating delivery systems. Get heat when you want it.
Our low mass and aluminum laminate enhance system performance allowing lower supply water temperatures resulting in high system efficiencies.
Ecowarm RadiantBoard Plus uses high grade 7 ply FSC® Certified plywood while others use OSB or low grade plywood.
A building contractor or radiant heating installer can install about 500 Sq/Ft per day of Ecowarm RadiantBoard. Ecowarm RadiantBoard is sold factory direct to your job site.

I have installed many Ecowarm RadiantBoard projects and one Warmboard R project over the years. I have found Ecowarm RadiantBoard easier to install than Warmboard R boards; much less breakage, easier and safer to handle, and easier on saw blades. — Vaughn Peiffer, California

Here are some questions that often arise. Feel free to call us any time with any questions!
Can Ecowarm RadiantBoard heat all types of rooms?
Yes, but there are conditions where high resistance carpet and pad is installed in a great room with a lot of glass in a very cold climate. Under those rare conditions, the designer will recommend supplemental heat of some sort (Ecowarm RadiantBoard radiant walls, Ecowarm RadiantBoard radiant ceilings, convectors or radiators)
When is Ecowarm RadiantBoard installed?
Ecowarm RadiantBoard is typically installed just prior to the installation of finished flooring goods. Store Ecowarm RadiantBoard on the job site in a dry, cool space until it is ready to be installed, in the natural progression of construction.
Is Ecowarm RadiantBoard really that efficient?
Well, Yes. Other higher mass concrete type systems have a lot of mass, which may sound good but they have some resistance and more response time issues. Underfloor systems have both high heat transfer resistance and heat loss opportunities resulting in higher operating costs. You want a system close to the flooring goods with high heat transfer characteristics…like RadiantBoard.
Will Ecowarm RadiantBoard heat the surface evenly?
Yes, Ecowarm RadiantBoard heats evenly due to the high heat transfer of its aluminum laminate. In a modern home with proper radiant controls, there is no reason to experience a significant temperature difference between radiant tubes.

Is Aluminum Laminate in the grooves of Ecowarm?
Aluminum laminate is factory installed in the grooves of the Ecowarm RadiantBoard straight panel but the super combo panels including curves are made differently as follows:
The super combo boards with curves are first grooved for the tubing using a computerized router. The boards are laminated with the covering layer of aluminum then perforated down the middle of both straight and curved grooves. During installation, the tubing is walked into selected grooves splitting the aluminum which then compresses to the side of the tubing. This results in lower conductivity for ¼ the circumference of the tubing covering about 35% of the floor surface. The effect of this choice does not significantly impact efficiency in independent testing… that is what matters.
This also significantly lowers manufacturing costs of manufacturing Ecowarm RadiantBoard. The result: the best value in the market.
How long does it take to install Ecowarm RadiantBoard?
Well, it really does depend. If your plan has lots of open space and few tight locations, that makes it faster (fewer cuts and fussing). If your installer has some experience, that really helps. So, planning on 250-500 sq ft per day is reasonable with two people.
The Best Choice Is The Best Value
Ecowarm RadiantBoard incorporates the best balance of high performance, material quality, environmental responsibility, and cost. In short, Ecowarm RadiantBoard represents the best value in radiant board heating systems.
