What makes WarmBoard good is that the entire panel is covered with relatively thick (twice as thick as other similar systems) aluminum which conducts the heat evenly over the entire surface. This product will work with heat pump hydronic feed temps. Robust insulation is still required.

Thank you for the suggestions. After reading about WarmBoard, I see some contractors are saying that it is a very expensive product at over $200 per 4x8 sheet, but the product is the cadillac of heated flooring products. They did suggest another product that was less expensive and it looks pretty good. Its
Quik Trak or from the mfg.
