    The easy use and install Electric Boilers for Radiant Floor Heating is designed to be used with PEX Tubing and the Crete Heat Insulated Floor Panels. This system is designed specifically for installation in poured concrete basement and garage slabs that are well insulated below and around the outside edge of the slab. Use these hydronic heating kits to heat up to 900 or 1000-1800 square feet of single-zone basement, garage, greenhouse, or home addition. Radiant-Made-Simple Radiant Heat Systems provide an energy-efficient (approaching 99%) solution for concrete floor heating.

    HAVE AN AREA LARGER THAN 1,800 SQUARE FEET?
    Areas larger than 1800 square feet should be subdivided and served with two or more RMS units sized for each area.

    EXAMPLE #1: A 2500 square foot basement could be treated as two, 1,250 square foot areas each served by one RMS-11 boiler having 4 loops each.

    EXAMPLE #2: Two temperature zones are desired in the 2,500 square foot basement, one 760 square foot zone could be served by one RMS-7 boiler with 2 – 300 foot loops, and the remaining 1,760 square foot area served by one RMS-11 heater with 5 – 300 foot loops. (Thermal isolation is required)

    THE BASICS OF RADIANT FLOOR HEAT

    PEX Tubing

    radiant floor heat pex tubing

    PEX Oxygen barrier tubing installs with Radiant Heat system on 2” insulation foam board. This Radiant Made Simple Radiant Floor Tubing Kit works with Radiant Made Simple Radiant Heat systems. Requires .92 gallons of RV antifreeze per 100 feet of tubing. 300′ X 1/2″ PEX Oxygen barrier tubing installs with Radiant Heat system on insulating foam board. Tube bends help make the transition from tubing in concrete to the manifolds. Allow 1 linear foot of tubing for 1 square foot of space to be heated. Order 1 each 300’ Loop Kit per 300 square feet of space to be heated.

    Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel System – 1″ Thick


    Insulation Benefits

    • Cuts radiant system install time by as much as 2/3
    • Designed to hold tube securely in place with wider fasteners
    • 2 sizes are available for both new construction and retrofitting existing buildings
    • UV Protected Packaging for outdoor storage

    Ready For Concrete

    The Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel System, is an easily assembled modular board insulation, vapor barrier, and radiant tube holding grid that allows for easy installation of hydronic radiant floor heating systems in basements, garages, main floor slabs on grade and above grade installations where concrete or Gyp-Crete is normally used. For basements, a ‘light weight’ concrete (sand instead of pea gravel) may be used in 1-1/2″ thickness. Uses 1/2″ tubing. Total thickness is 1-7/8″. This Product is sold by the bag, each containing 12 panels and covering 96 square feet. To determine your total square footage, divide your total square footage by 96 for the number of bags needed.

     

    2″ Thick Crete-Heat Insulated Floor Panel

    These panels provide 2″ of insulation while the PEX knobs add approximately 7/8″ more for an overall height of 2-7/8″.

    Crete Heat Specifications

    • 2″ of insulating thickness
    • the vapor barrier on each panel
    • overall thickness is 2-7/8″
    • Ships in UV and weather-proof packaging – see below

    Ready For Concrete
    These panels are easily assembled and have overlapping lips for securing to each other and holding while concrete is poured. It simplifies the installation of PEX tubing and also secures it from moving during the pour. Each panel is made with a vapor barrier and is great for heating systems in basements, garages, and main floor slabs on grade and above grade installations where concrete or gypcrete is normally used.


    insulated radiant heat floor panel

    Each panel board size is 25″ x 49″ with an effective insulating area of 24″ x 48″. Each interlocking panel covers up to 8 square feet with knobs to accommodate 3/8″ up to 1″ sized PEX. A 10-mil polystyrene film provides the vapor barrier.

    Electric Boilers for Floor Heat
    The electric boilers are specifically designed for use with radiant heating systems and provide energy-efficient heat in a do-it-yourself package. You can heat single or multiple zones and typical uses are in basements, garages, and anywhere a new slab is being poured.

    They have multiple manifolds for controlling individual zones and are a simple and efficient means of providing warmth throughout the slab.

    Calf Warmer and calving pen from Barn World

    Now is the time to buy a calf warmer, calving pen, and maternity pen.  This has been a brutally cold winter all across the country – where’s that global warming?  Calves are being born now.  Make sure you are ready with a calf warmer in proper working condition.
    Our calf warmers offer the best possible care for a newborn calf.  BarnWorld.com sells calf warmers made of long-lasting polyethylene for durability and easy cleaning. The calf warmer creates the perfect closed environment for a newborn during those first critical hours after birth. The heater, located in a separate enclosure at the rear of the calf warmer, uses a circulating fan and automatic shutoff thermostat to regulate air flow and keep vulnerable newborn calves warm. The inside of the calf warmer has enough room so the calf can either stand or lie down. The calf’s instinctive identity scent is not removed, so waiting mothers will reclaim their rejuvenated infants at once.
    BarnWorld.com also offers replacement heaters for calf warmers.  Make sure yours is in good working order or get one of our replacements before you need it.  Don’t end up with your calves in the cab of your truck to keep warm.
    Now is also the time to think about getting a calving pen or maternity pen.  BarnWorld.com carries two types of calving pens to help you save calves from difficult heifers.  All sides of the square calving pen have an in-and-out swing gate and latch for easy access from any direction.  The circular maternity pen has a confinement pen and nursing panels on two sides.  You can get an optional self-catching headgate with either model.
    Be ready for calving season.  Order your calf warmers, calf warmer heaters, and calving pens now.  Call us for shipping quotes at 720-238-2190.

    Calf warmers provide essential protection from the elements when your calf is most vulnerable. Mother Nature doesn’t care that it’s calf season and subjects your newborns to the harshness of winter right after birth.

    Now is the time to buy a calf warmer to protect them and help them make a quick recovery right after experiencing birth into their brave new world.  Make sure you’re ready to protect them and that your young ones can recover from the birthing process out in the cold pasture.

    Our calf warmers offer the best possible care for a newborn calf.  They’re made of long-lasting polyethylene for durability and easy cleaning and create the perfect closed environment for a newborn during those first critical hours after birth.

    You can also buy the heater separately if a replacement is necessary.  It is the heart of the warmer and needs to be functioning properly to protect your animal. Make sure yours is in good working order or get an extra one to have on hand in case you need a replacement quickly. You don’t want to end up trying to keep your newborns warm in the cab of your truck!

    Now is also the time to think about getting prepared with a calving pen or maternity pen. There are two types of pens to help you sort calves from difficult heifers. All sides of the square calving pens have an in-and-out swing gate and latch for easy access from any direction. The circular maternity pen has a confinement area that includes nursing panels on two sides. You can get an optional self-catching head-gate with either model to hold them safely.
