Aluminum heat transfer plate are installed between the floor joists to provide heat transfer across the bottom of the subfloor. The round channels formed into the aluminum snugly surround the tubing and this heat transfer from the tubing with warm water through the aluminum plates greatly increases the amount of heat that is delivered and evenly distributed throughout the floor.

Without Aluminum heat transfer plate
Staple up without Aluminum heat transfer plate. These system will run lower than suspend tube system but hotter than plate type system due to less conductive surface.
Using Aluminum heat transfer plate
Staple up with heat transfer plates. These system will run at a lower temperature than to the addition of aluminum fins which extend the contact surface area.
Our plates are Omega-shaped (not "V" or "U"-shaped like others) and allow to snap in PEX pipe during installation, making it much faster and easier. This channel shape offers more contact with tubing than U-shaped plates and has a better heat transfer.
Increase Radiant Floor Heating System's efficiency and response time.
Save time and labor - Omega-shaped plates allow for a 1-person installation.
