The three methods of heat transfer are Conduction, Convection and Radiation. The largest radiant energy source is the sun. Reflectivity is the measure of radiant energy that is reflected by the surface of a material without turning into conduction (heat flow through matter ie: walls, roofs, etc.). Reflectix insulation works much like a Thermos. The heat within the thermos is reflected back inside while the cold outside is reflected away.

Return air duct plenum, refrigeration line insulation, steamlines, water heater blanket, acoustical absorption, crawl spaces and attics. The applications are as endless as one's imagination.





Radiant floor heating is not a new concept. Centuries ago the Romans forced hot air under the floors of their housing structures. Also, architect Frank Lloyd Wright ran hot water pipes throughout the floors of his many structures back in the 1930's. In fact, this application is so common in Europe over 50% of all newly constructed buildings are equipped with a radiant floor heating system. HVDBW can be used with the installation of Radiant heating in a sub-floor and Radiant heating over an existing floor.
