Assumptions & project notes
- Material allowance: 10%. Package sizes and coverage rates are editable in the inputs.
- Tube length is area divided by spacing. Heat output, water temperature and pressure drop need a heating design.
- Check final dimensions, product specifications and any required local approvals before ordering.
Tools & preparation
- Tape measure, straightedge and level
- Marking and layout tools
- Suitable cutting and fastening tools
- Product-specific preparation and finishing tools
A preparation list; confirm installation tools with your selected products.
How to use the radiant floor heat planner
Start with area, tube spacing, maximum designed loop length. The result includes active tubing, loops, average loop including tails. Open advanced options to match your product sizes, material allowance and labor expectations.
1. Measure and specify
Measure each room or surface and identify openings, edges, fixtures and transitions.
2. Adjust the estimate
Check package coverage, material orientation, pattern alignment and substrate requirements.
3. Prepare your order
Review full-piece cuts and matching accessories; order from consistent product batches where needed.
4. Plan the work
Prepare the surface and follow the product installation and finishing sequence, including drying or curing periods.
