In-Slab Radiant Heating: A Smart, Scalable Solution for New Construction

When it comes to efficient and reliable radiant heating for new construction, few solutions compare to the performance and long-term value of ProLine In-Slab™ radiant floor heating systems. Explicitly designed for embedding in concrete slabs, this system offers exceptional heat retention, minimal maintenance, and straightforward installation for both contractors and wholesalers.

Built for New Builds and Concrete Applications

Contractors secure ProLine In-Slab™ heating cable to the rebar or reinforcing mesh before pouring the concrete slab—typically 4 inches thick or more—ensuring the cable sits 1 to 2 inches below the surface once the slab is in place. The rugged, waterproof cable efficiently delivers radiant heat, which the concrete mass absorbs and radiates upward for even, sustained warmth.

This application is ideal for:

  • New residential builds (basements, garages, large open-plan spaces)
  • Commercial facilities
  • Warehouses
  • Workshops
  • Storage structures

Contractor Benefits: Simplified Install, Long-Term Performance

  • Fast and Streamlined Installation: Installers affix the heating cable to the wire mesh or rebar before the concrete pour. There’s no need for extensive mechanical planning—just a proven, all-electric solution that integrates easily into standard construction timelines.
  • Durable, Jobsite-Tested Cable: The In-Slab™ heating cable features a fully grounded, flexible, single-conductor design with a tough fluoropolymer jacket and metal shielding. Manufacturers rate it for 120–600V applications and design it to withstand job site conditions, delivering years of trouble-free operation.
  • Energy Efficiency with Load Flexibility: The thermal mass of concrete retains heat well, making this system compatible with Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) strategies. This allows builders and property managers to leverage off-peak utility rates for significant energy cost savings over time.

Design Support and System Customization

ProLine delivers complete system designs, including:

  • Detailed layout and load calculations
  • Project-specific thermostat recommendations
  • Junction box and lead wire placement guides
  • Support for zoning and integration with building management systems

This turnkey approach eliminates guesswork, helping installers meet project timelines with confidence.

Applications and Floor Compatibility

While often installed in basements or garages, In-Slab™ systems are also used in slab-on-grade construction, making them ideal for ground-level living spaces in custom homes, cabins, or commercial projects. The system is compatible with a wide variety of floor coverings:

  • Tile and stone
  • Luxury vinyl planks (LVP)
  • Carpet (with proper padding)
  • Polished concrete
  • Engineered hardwood

Why Wholesalers Choose ProLine

  • Premium components with complete UL and CSA certification
  • Dedicated technical support from layout to post-installation
  • Flexible ordering with fast lead times
  • System warranties that meet contractor and customer expectations

In Summary

ProLine’s In-Slab™ radiant heating solution is a wise investment for professionals building with concrete. It offers high-performance heating, energy efficiency, and a low-complexity installation process—all backed by dedicated support and proven product reliability. Whether you’re managing a custom home build or outfitting a large commercial facility, ProLine delivers the tools and expertise to get the job done right.

ProLine snow melting systems are among the best in their class, and the systems are easy to customize, making them ideal to homeowners with a variety of needs. ProLine offers professional builders a host of radiant heat solutions. Some of these solutions include:

Roof De-icing Options

ProLine roof de-icing solutions range from custom self-regulating heat cable applications to the industry-leading low-voltage de-icing system. Heated aluminum panels and other options are also available. While the low-voltage system is the most popular and ideal for keeping entire roof eaves, valleys, and other areas free of snow and ice, self-regulating heat cable is perhaps the most in-demand roof heating product. The cable can be easily routed where needed, and these systems are also the most affordable.

Snow Melting System Options

Electric snow melting systems can tailored to meet the specific snow melting and budget needs of home and business owners. The systems can be installed to heat driveways, sidewalks, steps, ramps, loading docks, and so much more.

Homeowners particularly appreciate the custom options when it comes to heating their driveways. The systems can be installed to heat entire driveways, or two 24-inch-wide heated tire tracks can be installed. This is an affordable yet highly effective option. Or, just portions of the driveway can be heated. Heat cable can be installed to heat virtually any size or shape of area, so consumers can simply install a snow melting system on a “problem” incline, or area(s) where ice typically forms.

Floor Heating Options

ProLine also offers a wide range of floor heating options. The systems can be used to heat virtually all types of flooring, from vinyl and hardwood to ceramic tile and stone. The floor heating elements include systems with thin heat cable as well as neat paper-thin sheets and low-voltage panels.
