Columbia Hydronic Flooring System

The Columbia Hydronic Heating System is a 4 season heating solution that is the epitome of efficiency and comfort.  It is an all-inclusive solution that allows you to push the boundaries in extreme conditions, providing plumbing freeze protection, low-temperature lithium charging capabilities and cabin heat.

We use a ¾” fiberglass-reinforced closed cell foam to house the PEX piping and aluminum heat transfer plates. A ¼” overlay is placed on top to provide a smooth surface to accept your finish floor. This overlay is CNC mapped with the positioning of the PEX piping and the aluminum heat transfer plates. These slight engravings allow for builders and DIYers alike to make penetrations through the floor with confidence, mitigating a puncture through the PEX pipe. 

Our product is half the finish height of comparable hydronic housings on the market. 

The foam substrate we use has the following beneficial properties: 

  • Up to 60% the weight of plywood
  • High density to accept traditional fasteners
  • Dimensionally stable
  • 0 rot
  • 3 x more insulating than plywood, no need for additional insulation
  • Sound deadening properties, no need for additional butyl mat
