  and significantly increase home values.

Forced Air System (left); Radiant heating system (right)

Radiant heating systems heat your body and objects in the room, not the air.
The warmth stays down around the floor, where it is needed most.

Unlike forced air heat that blasts hot air near the registers and leaves you out in the
cold in hard-to-heat areas, Wirsbo radiant heating systems radiate heat from the floor
throughout your home or in individual rooms, providing comfortable, even heating.

Because radiant heating is delivered at floor level, it warms everything, not just air.
And because this heating system does not use blowers, it won't disperse allergens and
pollutants into the air.

Radiant heating systems from Unique are ideal for every architectural style.
They are ideal because they concentrate the heat near the floor, where you
and your family can enjoy it.

Unique Offers the Most Choices in
Wirsbo Radiant Heating

Wirsbo radiant heating systems for floors uses warm water circulated in durable
PEX tubing under the floor to warm the floor and the room. They provide comfortable,
radiant heating that radiates up through the floor to warm everything in the room.

These radiant heating systems can be used with any flooring, including carpet,
hardwood, slate, marble, tile, laminate and linoleum.

Wirsbo PEX

Wirsbo radiant heating systems from Unique circulate warm water under the
floor through Wirsbo's Engel Method cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing.
Tested and proven for over 30 years, PEX is durable, flexible, and has a life
expectancy of over 100 years. Used in residential and commercial buildings for
more than a quarter century, more than 5 billion feet of Wirsbo PEX tubing is
installed worldwide.

Wirsbo “Quik Trak" System

Cold basements? Cold floors? Drafty rooms? The Wirsbo Quik Trak system
brings affordable radiant heating solutions to troublesome cold spots, thanks to
a thin V2" profile that makes basement and above subfloor retrofits easier.
Easy to plan and install, Quik Trak eliminates moisture and excess weight issues,
scheduling conflicts and other concerns often associated with poured floors.
The Quik Trak radiant heating system can accept a finished floor immediately
after installation.

“Radiant Ready" Heating Option
for New Construction

Radiant Ready is the smartest installation that a homeowner or builder could
consider. Radiant Ready means you install Wirsbo PEX tubing in the concrete
slab areas during the initial construction phase - get the tubing in the floor
before the pour! In this way, the floor is ready for radiant heating comfort
now or later - whenever the homeowner decides to complete the system.
It's an easy installation and offers homeowners and builders an inexpensive
way to increase home value.

Radiant Heating Systems Melt Snow and Ice

Radiant heating systems are hydronic systems designed to remove snow
and ice by circulating a heat transfer fluid (usually antifreeze and water) through
pipes. With proper design and installation, our radiant heating systems will
provide long-term performance and reliability – and safety - in keeping your
driveway, walkways and other areas snow and ice free.

Beyond the safety benefits, these radiant heating systems can reduce indoor
maintenance costs (no salt or water tracked inside), eliminate the costs of snow
removal, reduce liability exposure and offer unmatched convenience.

The economics of installation and operation of a hydronic system can often
be better than traditional snow and ice removal methods.

Applications include:

• Driveways
• Hospital entrances
• Parking garage ramps
• Wheelchair ramps
• Parking lots
• Sidewalks and steps
• Helicopter landing pads
• Resort community roadways
• Car washes
• Hot tub/pool surrounds
• Runways

Flexible Options

SIM systems can be installed in substrates including concrete,
sandbeds and under asphalt. A typical SIM control system works with
conventional heating equipment. Automatic sensors turn the system on
when snow starts and turn it off when surfaces are dry, and also adjust
fluid temperature to changing conditions.
