Radiant Ceiling Panels

Clean. Quiet. Efficient.

Engineered for performance.
Designed for your project.

Aero Tech manufactures hydronic radiant ceiling panels for commercial, institutional, architectural, and specialty applications. Our aluminum radiant heating systems combine efficient heat transfer, flexible configurations, published performance data, and project-specific engineering support.

How Do Radiant Ceiling Panels Work?

Hydronic radiant ceiling panels circulate heated water through copper tubing attached to aluminum panels. The panels transfer heat through infrared radiation to directly warm people and surfaces without relying on forced-air blowers or heavy convection currents.

The result is quiet, uniform heating that can be integrated directly into the architecture of the space.

Why Specify Radiant Ceiling heating?

Radiant heating provides engineers and architects with an efficient, flexible alternative to
conventional forced-air heating systems

Energy Efficient

Reduce system energy requirements while maintaining occupant comfort.

Cleaner Air

Without forced-air blowers or heavy convection currents, radiant heating minimizes the circulation of dust, pollen, and allergens.

Even, Quiet Comfort

Provide uniform heat output without noisy equipment or drafts.

Design & Space Flexibility

Reduce heating-related ductwork requirements and integrate the heating system directly into the architecture.

Indoor & Outdoor Applications

Radiant panels can be designed for indoor, semi-enclosed, and select outdoor spaces.

Low Maintenance. Long Life

Virtually maintenance-free radiant systems can provide reliable performance for decades.

Why Choose Aero Tech Radiant Ceiling Panels?

A radiant heating system is only as good as the engineering behind it. Aero Tech combines proven panel construction, published performance data, flexible manufacturing capabilities, and project-specific support to help engineers and architects design radiant systems with confidence.

1

Maximum heat Transfer

More than 70% of the copper tube surface is mechanically attached to Aero Tech’s extruded
aluminum panel, creating constant, consistent contact for effective heat transfer.

The design provides direct tube-to-panel contact without retaining clips or non-hardening heat paste.

For our RLFM panels, the entire circuit is soldered to the panel, vs attaching the tube with hardware and brackets.

This ensures more contact for efficient heat transfer.

2

Reduced Points of Failure

Aero Tech formed metal radiant panels feature a continuous tube circuit that reduces the number of fittings and solder joints required within the panel.

Fewer connections create fewer potential failure points while maintaining a continuous path for water flow.

3

Design Flexibility

Not every building fits a standard solution.

Aero Tech’s in-house manufacturing capabilities allow radiant panel systems to be customized for unique architectural and project requirements, including:

  • Curved surfaces
  • Historic renovations
  • High-end architectural finishes
  • Transit applications
  • Commercial buildings
  • Residential developments
  • Specialty installations

Frequently Asked Questions About Radiant Ceiling Panels

How do hydronic radiant ceiling panels work?

Hydronic radiant ceiling panels circulate heated water through copper tubing attached to aluminum panels. The panels transfer heat through infrared radiation to directly warm people and surfaces below rather than relying on forced-air blowers or heavy convection currents.

Radiant heating can reduce system energy requirements while maintaining occupant comfort because heat is delivered directly to surfaces and occupants without relying on forced-air blowers or heavy convection currents.
