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 heating
Viega 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 installation
Install 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 control
Radiant 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.

Total solutions, complete comfort
Ideal Heat Curve
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 design
The 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
Forced Air Heat Curve
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

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.
