With 9 inch spacing the coil will cover only 222 square feet of floor space.

For example by increasing the flow through 1 2 pex tubing by only 0 1 gpm floor output will increase at 5 btu sq ft hr. As a rule of thumb 12 inch spacing between the tubes gives a 1 1 ratio between tube length and floor area in square feet so your 300 foot tube coil will cover 300 square feet of floor space. If you already have a boiler with enough capacity to add radiant heat flooring the cost of tubing and supplies installed is about 2 75 to 4 25 per square foot. And this is used in conjunction with our installation manual installation video and website information.

For example a room that is 25 feet wide and 26 feet long will have a floor area of 25 26 650 square feet. Radiant floor company will provide a detailed worksheet for your project explaining the amount of tubing in each zone the spacing gallons in the floor heat loss pump size and setting etc. Warmlyyours online design tool lets you consider your room layout for a custom quote.
