Types of Radiant Floor Systems
Therma-Floor is a gypsum underlayment designed by Maxxon® Corporation specifically for radiant floor heating systems. Poured over hot water tubes or electric heating cables, it's the ideal thermal mass for any radiant floor system.

Therma-Floor encases the tubes or cables in crack-resistant, noncombustible gypsum, specially formulated to resist breakdown to 150º F (66º C). Poured only 1-1/4" (32mm) thick, Therma-Floor also makes your heating system more responsive — and your home more comfortable.

Some radiant systems install under plywood subfloors. But plywood is nearly 4 times more insulative than Therma-Floor, resulting in lost heat. Therma-Floor does its work above the subfloor, for greater efficiency and consistent comfort.

Why a radiant floor heating system isn't complete without Therma-Floor:

  • Resists heat deterioration — it's formulated specifically for radiant floor heating.
  • Enhances heating system responsiveness due to its thin thermal mass.
  • Provides a smooth, tough surface.
  • Stiffens the floor and won't shrink crack.
  • Seals perimeter walls, keeping out baseboard drafts.
  • Eliminates squeaks and nail pops common to wood underlayments.
  • Muffles sound transfer.
  • Backed by a nationwide applicator network with over three billion square feet of experience.
  • Accepts virtually all floor coverings.
  • Contains no urea formaldehyde.

The process for selecting
Therma-Floor:
  1. Consultation with the homeowner, general contractor and MAPLEService to determine desired heating result

  2. Pre-determine floor coverings

  3. Submit plans to Therma-Floor for design/quotation

  4. Submit plan to archetect/designer for heat-loss calculations—this may be pre-determined by homeowner

  5. Receive quotation from Therma-Floor/MAPLEService

  6. MAPLEService will coordinate and schedule installation of Therma-Floor. The Therma-Floor invoice is emailed directly to general contractor. MAPLEService does not charge for this Therma-Floor process
