Outdoor Radiant
Your patio stays clear of snow and ice, usable well into winter, with no overhead heaters or open flames in the way.
What Goes Wrong
Undersized systems and skipped load calculations are the two most common reasons a heated patio fails to perform in a Denver winter.
A system sized without accounting for Denver’s altitude and overnight lows will run continuously and still leave ice on the surface.
Every load calculation accounts for elevation, exposed patio area, and the thermal mass of the chosen paver or concrete finish.
Outdoor hydronic loops without a correctly rated glycol mix can freeze and crack tubing during a hard Denver cold snap.
Outdoor loops are filled with a glycol mix rated to the site’s lowest recorded temperature, not a generic off-the-shelf ratio.
Cable or tubing added after pavers are laid or concrete is poured cannot be embedded properly, leaving hot spots and cold zones.
Tubing or cable is set in the sand-set bed or concrete pour before the surface finish goes down, ensuring even heat distribution.
Without a post-install check, an undersized or miswired system may not reach its rated output until the first hard freeze reveals the gap.
A post-install performance check confirms the surface reaches its specified BTU output before the project is signed off.
System Options
The right system depends on your patio size, surface material, and whether an existing boiler can support an outdoor loop.
A dedicated loop off an existing boiler runs tubing beneath pavers or concrete, suited to larger patio areas with higher BTU demands.
Electric cable or mat installs work for smaller terraces and rooftop decks where adding a hydronic circuit is not practical.
Tubing or cable is embedded in the sand-set or mortar bed before pavers are laid, keeping the surface finish intact and even.
Tubing is tied into the slab reinforcement and poured over, integrating the radiant system directly into the concrete structure.
Separate zone valves let you run the patio loop independently.
Glycol mix rated to Denver’s recorded low temperatures.
Required permits are included in the written estimate scope.
Why Choose Us
Every patio job starts with a load calculation and ends with a confirmed performance check, nothing is left to guesswork.
Every enquiry starts with a system evaluation covering load, existing equipment, and altitude-adjusted sizing.
You receive a written estimate covering equipment, installation scope, and timeline before any work is scheduled.
The installation is documented from written scope through final sign-off.
A post-install check verifies the surface reaches its specified BTU output, closing the loop on every project.
The Process
01
Submit your project details. We schedule an evaluation of the space, surface, and existing equipment.
02
You receive an itemised written estimate covering system type, materials, manifold work, permits, and installation timeline.
03
The installer embeds tubing or cable, completes the manifold connections, and runs a post-install check to confirm BTU output.
