Plastic pipes for floor heating

Floor Heating

Start every day off on the right foot

Introducing underfloor heating with a difference. Enjoy waking up and stepping out onto cozy flooring every morning, with our hydronic radiant floor heating. All of our floor heating features specially designed pipes to circulate a customized fluid throughout the, keeping your floor (and your feet!) at a constant, comfortable temperature.

How can we help create efficiencies from the ground up?

These highly flexible, multi-layer pipes are made by securely bonding an inner layer of material to an outer layer of polyethylene of raised temperature resistance (PE-RT). Used in three- or five-layer floor heating pipes, DOWLEX™ 2344 PE-RT Resin builds on the traditional strengths of polyethylene to deliver a little something extra.

Long-term hydrostatic strength

At high temperatures with no need for cross-linking.

Excellent toughness and flexibility

Even at low temperatures for durable, extremely leak-resistant performance.

Exceptional surface smoothness

For improved flow with reduced pressure loss and deposit/sediment formation.

Resistance

Corrosion and hard water scaling resistance for added protection of aluminum or EVOH layers. 

This proven, highly respected solution meets or exceeds key performance standards.

DOWFROST™ HD Propylene Glycol-based Heat Transfer Fluid

DOWFROST™ HD Propylene Glycol-based Heat Transfer Fluid answers the unique challenges of radiant floor heating by helping prevent freeze-up and/or bursting caused by prolonged power loss and exposure to low temperatures, and corrosion, scaling, and sediment that can

  • Cause leakage and/or system failure
  • Reduce efficiency/restrict flow
  • Damage pipes, pumps, and other components
  • Increase energy costs
  • Decrease service life
