On this episode of the Build Show, host Travis Brungardt walks through three distinct radiant floor heating applications on a single residential project — a Warmboard panel system on the main floor, in-slab hydronic tubing in the garage, and a multi-zone loop system in the basement. The homeowner, Brandon, worked directly with Warmboard to design and self-install the entire system, which runs off a shared boiler and covers ten separate zones throughout the house. Guest expert Randy, a builder from northern Minnesota, breaks down the mechanics of hydronic radiant heat — how water circulates through embedded tubing, warms surrounding surfaces, and creates even, whole-body comfort that forced-air systems struggle to match.
