Story

Kent Companies was contracted by Parillo Contractors Inc. to provide and install the Maxxon Therma-Floor Radiant Heat Underlayment on this project.  An indoor pool room was being added on the existing house and the homeowners wanted the entire new pool deck to be heated.

New radiant heat tubing was installed around the new pool deck over a plywood subfloor. Kent Companies installed the Maxxon Therma-Floor Underlayment 1-1/2” (total thickness) over tubing and the plywood incasing the radiant heat tubes.  A total of 450 square feet of Therma-Floor Underlayment was installed around the new pool giving them a flat surface to install the finish tile flooring. 

NOTE: Kent Companies does not promote the use of Gypsum Underlayments in continuously wet environments however in this case, extreme measures were being used to isolate the water from the Gypsum Underlayment. The Architect had specified a very particular waterproofing detail in which to keep the water from reaching the Therma-Floor.
