Warmboard Inc. - Scotts Valley, California

In 2022 I researched in floor heating before I built my retirement home. Warmboard was the only company offering a proven complete system. Their staff was exceptional to work with. Their installation and operation documents and videos were excellent as I installed the entire system myself. Today 1/25/25 I am in my second winter operating the Warmboard system. It works perfectly and that is the truth. I live in Northern Idaho where it gets cold. The cost of the system compared to piecing a system together with various parts is comparable and well worth it because of the support and company history.

I installed the Warmboard radiant floor heating system during new construction. The custom designed system precut and and color coded deck panels were a breeze to install and proved incredibly sturdy throughout the common mishaps of construction. The heating system itself is very efficient and quiet, delivering all the promised benefits. I am new the radiant floor heat concept as it is rarely offered or installed in my area , and have not been disappointed for one moment. It's The best choice for my open concept home in the northern US latitudes.
I do not give it five stars because the WiFi operated thermostats do their job, but they do not sync or display stats or allow System changes on my phone app. All I can do is go from vacation mode to non-vacation mode on my phone. The temperature sensors are also slow to respond, usually showing one or 2° cooler than the room actually is for a time. They are a bit under par as far as thermostat technology goes. I understand at the time of this review they are rolling out an upgrade to the thermostat system, which leaves me feeling left behind, unfortunately.

We just completed a 3-year tear down and rebuild project on our 1977 mountain home in Zephyr Cove, Nevada. I was the GC on the project (Under Nevada rules the Owner can act as the GC without being licensed)
Located at 7,000 Ft the house only needed heating (No AC) so we replaced the original forced air heating system with in-floor radiant heat.
Our architect had not considered the heating system change in the design and the floors were not designed to accept the weight of Gypcrete so I chose to install Warmboard instead of modifying the structure to bear the extra load.
The total area of heated flooring is 3,200 sqft. 1/3 of the Warmboard was installed over existing floors (Using the "Remodel" panels) and 2/3 as new load bearing floors (using the structural Warmboard panels). The Warmboard panels took a beating on the top floor where they were exposed to weather for 2 months while we were framing the walls and roof. There was no water damage despite many rain days. The panels are very strong and easily as stiff as structural plywood. We glued the panels with PL 400 and screwed them to the joists with Deckmate stainless screws. We did the same with the "R" panels over the old floors.
In the basement we sealed the floor with Redguard and glued and screwed the R-board to the concrete with Tapcons.
The Uponor tubing was easy to install as it just snaps in to the grooves. We walked on the bare Warmboard with the heating lines installed and system operating for nearly a year while we completed electrical, insulation, drywall, and painting. There was no damage to the Warmboard or to the tubing. Cleaning up the Warmboard at the end was quite easy.
The entire house has tile and hardwood floors. Warmboard guarantees that you can use solid hardwood on their system while Gypcrete floors require you to use engineered wood. We went with hardwood and it looks and feels great. We nailed the hardwood to the Warmboard which can be done because you can see the heating lines while you install the flooring (Contrary to Gypcrete)
Under the tile floors we used a Ditra membrane over the Warmboard.
Overall a great product and a good installation experience.

Very high quality, we used the S structural version. 3 years in and it’s keeping the floors evenly heated. Ours is under hardwood and it works great. Instal was fairly straightforward if you are pretty handy.

I just completed the installation of the Warmboard system in my cabin basement with the rest of the install ongoing. I am only operating in construction mode while I dry the cabin out here in Michigan this winter.

I found the install to be very straight forward and when I had questions my project manager Sierra Morin came to my aid immediately.

Based on my current experience with Warmboard, I would buy it a million times over! What a great product and my heavens, what good people stand behind the product!

I've been a plumber for the past 30 years. I've been dealing with plumbing heating air conditioning and more specifically the higher and Homes that have all of it tied together. Warmboard has been my favorite product to use if you can't put the tubing in concrete(In other words, any kind of framing involved) You can see the difference without any problem when you compare it with a thermal camera. The other awesome part about Warmboard is, there's no cold spots. A great example is if you know anything about framing wherever floor systems get tied together, there's usually headers..... Lotta the times at entryways or staircases you end up with cold spots due to the way that you have to frame. Warmboard covers all of that so there is none of this. The other nice thing is the size of the holes that you drill through the floor system to run. The tubing are much smaller because all of your looping is done above the floor..... And finally, the fact that you could run your water temperatures at lower temperatures Really adds to the efficiency, especially when you're talking about the efficiency you will get out of condensing boiler. Final point is rate of cheat...... Again, you take out that thermal camera and it's amazing as well as your bare feet to feel the floor warming up and record speed because of so much less it has to work to get the heat to the body.... Anyway, you would think I was a salesman for Warmboard but honestly, I'm not. I've just been using their product for close to 20 years now.. Great product guys good luck in the future!!Geo

I am not only a Warmboard employee but I am a customer as well. I have the benefit of talking radiant all day, everyday. With the recent addition of Warmboard in my own home I can honestly say, there is nothing more comfortable available. It was simple for my contractor to install during our remodel. Amazing controls respond to what's happening throughout every square inch of my home. I have invested my life in this company and now I put my money where my mouth is... and I remain wholly impressed!

I not only specify Warmboard for my projects on my custom single family residential design practice, but also installed Warmboard on our own home. After 15 years of yearly use of our radiant heating system, I can say there is no better system in the market.
