WARMBOARD-R PANEL DESCRIPTION Warmboard-R is a hydronic radiant panel made from oriented strand board (OSB)with a conductive .025" Dr TURN PANEL thick 1070 aluminum alloy skin bonded to the entire top surface. Each panel type is stamped with a series of aluminum channels on the top surface to hold 1/2" PEX or PEX-AL-PEX tubing. Warmboard-R consists of two panel types which weigh approximately 25 pounds, are 13/16"thick and measure 23 7/8"x 48". In a completed assembly, Warmboard-R weighs 3.21bs per square foot, I which includes the panel, tubing and water. I g„ Tangential Groove Warmboard-R is typically installed over concrete or STRAIGHT PANEL subfloor,though is also used in walls and ceilings. RS Non-aluminum filler panels are also available. Warmboard-R panels are but one component in a complete radiant system.System design should be done in accordance with Radiant Professionals Alliance(RPA)guidelines,manufacturers' recommendations for ancillary components, and is the responsibility of the system designer.

Inspect for squeaks and refasten ► Self-counter sinking with decking screws as necessary. ► No adhesive needed Cutting and installing Warmboard-R is very straightforward.The panels can be trimmed with a standard skill or table saw and will rip just like Method 2: Nail and Glue ordinary OSB. We recommend cutting with the aluminum side down to help avoid burrs. Use a construction adhesive designed for bonding OSB to plywood (Loctite PL Wood Adhesive or equivalent). Follow all directions specified by the adhesive manufacturer. For nailing, use a ring shank or a screw nail. To determine the appropriate length of the nail to use, evaluate existing thickness of subfloor and add Warmboard-R 13/16". Fasten nails with a pattern of 3 rows of 4. Fastener Subfloor Warmboard-R and the subfloor MUST be ( ' completely dry,with a moisture reading between 8-12%before,during and after installation. DO NOT expose Warmboard-R to rain before or after installation. It is crucial to use the alignment pins to line up the channels from panel to panel. Cut panels with the aluminum side down.

Ideally,the heating system should use "Indoor Reset" or another type of reset control strategy. "Reset" is a system for automatically resetting boiler temperatures (up or down),to better meet changing heatloads. This is an excellent strategy for hardwood floors.

Keep low moisture levels in the hardwood to ensure long term stability.Maintain an indoor ambient temperature between 60-80°F(15-26°C), and keep the humidity between 30-50%.
