Clean, green comfort control

Energy isn’t free. On the contrary, it’s expensive and in ever-decreasing

supply. But you shouldn’t have to face discomfort because of skyrocketing

energy requirements. Viega ProRadiant heating and cooling solutions are

so highly engineered, they reduce energy costs and make installation easy.

Radiant technology has been around since ancient Rome but Viega’s legacy

of engineering excellence makes radiant systems more cost-effective to install

than ever.

Viega offers complete radiant heating and cooling systems backed with

unparalleled support. Whether your project is industrial, commercial or

residential, Viega offers a pre-engineered solution that will help you reduce

installation time and balance the total cost of the project.

Efficient home heatingViega offers complete radiant heating solutions for new or remodeled

homes, like Viega panels, which are easy to install and adds only ½"

to floor height. Viega radiant heating systems can significantly reduce

installation time and provide an energy-efficient solution to

the homeowner.

Rapid commercial installationInstall radiant tubing for heating and cooling fast with the Viega mat

system, the energy-efficient solution for commercial projects. The entire

project cost can be easily balanced because Viega mats eliminate

variables associated with installing tubing.

Clean climate controlRadiant systems offer consistent temperature control. A frost prevention

system from Viega can help prevent damage to freezer floors in food

and beverage applications. Control the climate in nearly any industrial

project with Viega radiant systems.

Ideal Heat Curve

Forced Air Heat Curve

Radiant Heat Curve

Total solutions, complete comfort You can increase the energy efficiency of a building by installing radiant

heating. With ViegaPEX barrier tubing, controls, manifolds, mixing stations,

fittings and tools designed to work together, the Viega family of radiant

heating and cooling systems offers guaranteed solutions for residential,

commercial or industrial projects.

Comfort by designThe Ideal Heat Curve is a representation of the ideal temperature of a room.

For maximum comfort, the warmest temperatures should be at floor level

while cooler temperatures should remain at head and ceiling levels.

Compared to conventional forced-air heating, radiant heating practically

duplicates the Ideal Heat Curve. Radiant heating systems warm people

and objects rather than just the air. With a forced-air heating system, the air

increases in temperature and rises to the ceiling, the opposite of the Ideal

Heat Curve. With a radiant floor heating system, the floor itself delivers the

heat where it is needed, unlike air.

A radiant floor heating system provides consistent temperatures, specifically

controlled by zones from room to room. Not only are the temperatures

consistent and reliable, a radiant floor heating system is more energy

efficient than a conventional forced-air heating system.

Radiant heating and cooling systems• Can be installed under any type of flooring

• Delivers steady, consistent temperatures

• Prevents circulation of dirt, dust and allergens

• Increases energy savings by up to 30%

• Can be coupled with geothermal technology

• Features a 30-year warranty valid from installation date

Radiant panel systems are easy to install and can be

customized to suit nearly any floor plan. Whether your project

is a remodeled home, a new hotel or in a stadium, Viega offers

a radiant heating or cooling system that provides consistent

temperature control. You can get the type of panel system that

works best for your project, such as assembled, unassembled,

insulated or uninsulated. It’s your choice, but whichever one you

choose, you will install a radiant system with Viega behind it.

All-in-one panel for commercial or residentialViega’s insulated panel system is a versatile radiant option that incorporates

insulation, vapor barrier and a grid system to secure tubing all in one

convenient product that is easy to install. Viega’s insulated panel is

compatible with three sizes of ViegaPEX Barrier tubing, ⅜", ½" and ⅝",

and ½" Viega FostaPEX, and provides easy lay down/interlock system with

no taping required.

• Compressive resistance at 10% deformation at 25 psi/3,600 psf

• Walk tubing in for a quick and easy installation

• Save on materials because no fasteners required

• Cuts installation time by as much as 60%

Versatile panel reduces laborViega’s uninsulated panel is a high-density polystyrene grid fastener

system that can turn cold, damp areas into cozy living spaces. The unique

grid pattern allows for tubing to be laid out in both straight and diagonal

directions. Each package of 18 covers 240 square feet and can be

installed with ½" ViegaPEX Barrier tubing for slab and lightweight concrete

applications. Viega’s uninsulated panel is well suited for new or remodel

applications.

• Can be used with any type of insulation

• Considered a vapor barrier

• Can be easily cut to size with a utility knife

Viega engineers confidence in commercial radiant projects

Installing radiant heating or cooling in projects with large square footage used to be a tedious,

time-consuming process. But Viega, the leader in innovative thinking and design, revolutionized radiant

heating and cooling installation with the Viega mat. Viega was the first to offer this time-saving system.

With a Viega mat system, installing a radiant heating or cooling system in a commercial or industrial project

is an easy process. With pre-engineered design that eliminates the guesswork, the Viega mat simplifies

large-scale projects.

Reduce installation time without guesswork The first of its kind, the Viega mat arrives on the job site in a pre-assembled

roll, complete with temporary supply-and-return headers and tubing. To

install, the Viega mat is simply unrolled and secured. Pre-pressurized and

numbered for accurate placement, this remarkably designed system allows

20,000 square feet of tubing for radiant heating and cooling to be installed in

an average workday. Installers can get to work immediately when the Viega

mat arrives without worrying about measuring, spacing or guessing.

The Viega mat is ideal for large rectangular or square slabs such as

warehouses, car garages, museums, schools or airport terminals but

because the system is customized by Viega, it can be designed to fit any

floor plan. Not only does the Viega mat reduce installation time for the

installer, it cuts energy costs for the consumer.

Features and benefits

• Guarantees desired tube spacing

• Provides both heating and cooling solutions

• Offers a balanced system suitable for reverse return

piping applications

• Available in various sizes

• Features connections located above the slab

for future zoning and peace of mind

Remodeling existing homes is becoming the new standard in the industry

and Viega offers track and plate systems ideal for retrofitting projects.

Lightweight and designed for easy installation, Viega track can be screwed

directly to the underside of the subflooring and then ViegaPEX Barrier tubing

is snapped into the channel, providing an economical and efficient radiant

floor heating system. With pre-drilled holes, optimized dimensions for

installation and durable construction, Viega track is the fast and easy way to

install radiant heating.

You can also choose heat transfer plates, which allows easy installation

of ViegaPEX Barrier tubing with Viega’s adhesive. The heat transfer

plates can be stapled to the underside of the subflooring of a house. This

provides a fast, simple radiant heating solution that offers consistent

floor heating.

List of installation types
