Joist Trak
™
Heat-Transfer Panel Overview
Introduction
Joist Trak
™
heat-transfer panels provide fast and
effective installation of radiant heat in
virtually every application
(floors, walls and ceilings). The
rigid channel construction makes
it easier for flexible hePEX
™
plus
tubing to be snapped into place tightly and
securely. Joist Trak is also an excellent alternative to poured floor
underlayments.
• Outstanding for both new construction and retrofit
• Excellent thermal conductivity makes it the ideal material for
today’s radiant heating systems
• Increased heat output and more uniform floor temperatures, at
lower water temperatures, compared to staple-up installations
• Easily installed from below the subfloor with no alteration to
existing or planned wood-frame floor construction
• Adaptable for above floor, wall and ceiling applications
• No need for additional straps or fasteners to secure hePEX plus
tubing
• Open-channel design leaves tubing runs fully visible and accessible
during installation
• Convenient 4-foot lengths simplify ordering, handling and
installation (if necessary, Joist Trak can be easily cut to length
on the job)
• Joist Trak system’s low mass allows for quicker response time to
changes in room temperature compared to high-mass systems
