What is In-Floor Heating?
In-floor heating uses warm water tubing installed beneath your floor to deliver even, radiant warmth across an entire room. Operating at lower temperatures than forced-air systems, it provides consistent comfort from the floor up — ideal for below-grade basement spaces.
Whether added during a renovation or underpinning, radiant heat eliminates cold concrete floors and creates a comfortable, energy-efficient living area year-round.
Why Choose In-Floor Heating?
Eliminate cold basement floors year-round
Radiant tubing warms the floor surface directly, replacing the cold concrete underfoot that makes most basements uncomfortable through the colder months.
Heat your space more efficiently
Because radiant systems run at lower temperatures and warm objects rather than air, they deliver steady comfort while often costing less to operate than forced-air heat.
Enjoy quiet, even, draft-free comfort
With no blowers or vents moving air, in-floor heating spreads warmth evenly across the room — no cold spots, no noise, and no circulating dust.
Pair perfectly with renovations & underpinning
Installed before new floors go down, radiant heating integrates seamlessly into a basement lowering or finishing project for a fully modern space.
Our Process
A Precise, Engineered Approach
Prepare the base
Base prep (underpinning/excavation, drainage, Delta-MS, gravel) and the vapour barrier over that gravel are one continuous “get the floor ready” phase. Natural to merge.
Install panels & perimeter foam
The Ampex® insulated panels go down, then the perimeter expansion strip around walls/posts. Same stage – laying the insulated field the tubing sits in.
Design layout & install PEX tubing
Marking the heating zones/manifold routing and then running the PEX tubing into the panel channels are the design-and-lay steps, back to back.
Connect manifold & pressure test
Hooking up the supply/return manifold and then pressure-testing the loops are one connect-and-verify phase (you can’t test until it’s connected).
Inspect & pour slab
Final inspection (tubing spacing, manifold, pressure holding) immediately precedes pouring the slab over the system. They belong together as the “lock it in” step.
Cure & commission
Letting the slab cure and then connecting to the boiler/heat source, purging, balancing, and starting the system – the finishing and start-up phase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Radiant heating uses warm water tubing installed beneath the floor to provide even, comfortable heat throughout a space.
Yes. Radiant systems can improve comfort while operating at lower temperatures than traditional forced-air systems.
Yes. It can often be incorporated during basement renovations or underpinning projects.
Tile, engineered flooring, luxury vinyl, and polished concrete all work well.
In some cases it can. In others, it supplements an existing heating system.
Yes. One of its biggest advantages is providing warm floor surfaces year-round.
Operating costs depend on insulation levels, system design, and energy prices but are often competitive with traditional heating systems.
