The radiant heating market is one that took the industry by storm in the early 2000s. More than two decades later, the acceptance and applications of radiant systems have grown exponentially. Experts describe the radiant heating market in 2022 as “consistent” and “expanding,” citing labor, material and logistic uniformity shortages as the top challenges hindering radiant projects.
Ryan Westlund, senior manager, REHAU, says the acceptance of radiant systems has been more common in recent years. “We are seeing consistent demand for both residential and commercial. Though it’s not spiking in growth as it was at beginning of the millennia,” he says. “As knowledge spreads among engineers, and as their experience base and confidence in the systems grow, there’s less fear about being the vanguard in a ‘new technology.’ They are using something they’ve used successfully in previous projects.”
