Company History

In 1950 Airtite Contractors supplied and installed the first commercial aluminum radiant heating and cooling ceiling in the United States. This lightweight aluminum system had greater heat conduction to the panel surface with increased radiant output than previous systems. The lighter panels provided quicker response to temperature changes thus overcoming the slower response of older systems.

In the 1960’s technology was developed to metallurgically bond copper tubing to the aluminum ceiling panels. This method is still employed today and provides acoustical control in addition to providing higher radiant output. In the early 1970’s extruded radiant ceiling panels were developed. Copper tubes were mechanically inserted into the extrusion’s heat transfer saddle. This new panel design provided increased panel output as well as lowering manufacturing and installation costs.

A New Beginning

In 2005 Airtite Contractors, the same contractor that had been supplying and installing radiant ceilings for over 50 years, reemerged as a manufacturer of premier radiant ceiling systems. Through its expertise in design, engineering, manufacturing, and installation, the new company known as Airtite Radiant Ceiling Systems is well qualified to assist you in your latest project.
