Efficient Heat Distribution for Radiant Heating Systems
Aluminum heat transfer plates are an important component in radiant floor heating and hydronic heating systems. These plates help move heat from PEX tubing into the subfloor or surface above. In this page, you will find a simple explanation of what they are, how they work, types, sizes, applications, and why our factory is a reliable supplier of aluminum heat transfer plates.
What Are Aluminum Heat Transfer Plates?
Aluminum heat transfer plates are thin aluminum panels designed to hold PEX tubing in radiant heating projects.
They improve heating efficiency by spreading heat evenly across the floor.
Main Benefits
- Faster heat transfer
- More even temperature control
- Reduced energy use
- Easy installation
- Strong and long-lasting
- Works with most radiant heating systems
How Do They Work?
Aluminum is an excellent conductor. When warm water flows through PEX tubing, the aluminum plate spreads the heat across the surface. This provides faster warm-up time and better comfort compared to systems without plates.
