Frequently Asked Questions

• What kind of plywood is used for radiantboard?

  Ecowarm RadiantBoard offers high quality, sustainably forested 6 or 7-ply FSC® certified plywood made in the USA. Warmboard R uses oriented strand board (OSB) from Canada, a substantially less expensive, not-sustainably certified and generally less desirable substrate for flooring.

• Can I use aluminum sheets for radiator covers?

  I special ordered this aluminum sheet for decorative panels for a radiator cover. The sheet was easy to cut to size and install inside the cabinet I built using MDF which I also purchased from Home Depot. I would definitively recommend this product if you are building a piece of furniture and need to have some grating to provide airflow.

• What is the difference between ecowarm radiantboard and warmboard R?

  Despite the more desirable and expensive plywood base, Ecowarm RadiantBoard is typically 35% less costly than Warmboard R (or Warmboard S for that matter). Warmboard R remains more expensive than Ecowarm RadiantBoard, because it uses the company’s existing over-engineered aluminum plates borrowed from their structural board Warmboard S.

• What condition should I look for in a radiant floor system?

  During the heating season, a radiant system is cycling to maintain the temperature in a room or from setback, not going from stone cold. So the condition radiant floor purchasers should care about is a system coming from setback, let’s say 15 btu/sq./ft to the 20 btu/sq./ft. in Warmboard’s videos.
