R&D Engery Savers | Watts Radiant – SmartTrac Radiant Panel Solution

Watts Radiant – SmartTrac is a non-structural, modular panel system, designed to simplify radiant heating and cooling installations in subfloor, wall and ceiling applications. Easy to configure and quick to install, SmartTrac is a flexible solution for any new construction or remodeling project.

The SmartTrac one-panel solution eliminates the need for silicone and curing, making it approximately 20% faster to install than competing products. SmartTrac is 80% lighter than thin slabs, eliminating the need for increased joist sizes and double plating. SmartTrac responds faster than concrete, providing superior comfort levels for building occupants. Using SmartTrac, installers can run longer circuit lengths and use just one panel for the majority of jobs.

“SmartTrac is the next generation of radiant heating panel design. Its superior configuration makes it significantly easier and faster to install than competing products,” said John Sweaney, senior product and customer support manager for Watts Radiant. “Using SmartTrac, radiant heating system installers will shave significant time off job completion times, an advantage that can translate into lower overall installed costs and increased profits.
