The NextGen Demonstration home features Wirsbo Radiant Floors - the clean, comfortable and economical heating alternative. Warm water circulates under the floor through Wirsbo's durable PEX tubing, keeping all kinds of floors comfortably warm - tile, wood, slate, linoleum - even concrete. Cold, drafty rooms are eliminated, while homeowners experience up to 40% in energy savings. Radiant floor heating is a healthy decision for families with allergies because it does not circulate dust, allergens and other pollutants.

Comfort and economical benefits of a Wirsbo Radiant Floor system are maximized further with the Wirsbo pro Series control package. The weather-responsive controls maintain a superior heating comfort level throughout the home - and enhance snow-melting capabilities when used with the Wirsbo Snow & Ice Melting System.

PEX tubing is also a clean, safe and healthy choice for plumbing systems. Wirsbo AQUAPEX^®, simple and quick to install, saves time and money. It's also quiet, durable and virtually maintenance-free. With more than 5 billion feet of PEX tubing installed worldwide, it doesn't pit, leak or corrode like copper pipes, and is highly freeze resistant.

AQUAPEX tubing offers additional peace of mind when used with the Wirsbo AQUASAFE™ Residential Fire Protection system. Designed to protect families and homes, AQUASAFE is the only non-stagnant, multi-purpose plumbing and fire sprinkler system on the market. This means fresh water continuously circulates throughout the tubing that feeds to heat-activated sprinkler heads and other plumbing fixtures. Not only does the system provide protection, it's also aesthetically pleasing. Homeowners can choose either the concealed or the unobtrusive, low-profile recessed sprinklers, which makes the system virtually invisible.
