Radiant Heating

flinch asked:


We’re remodeling a house that has a rec room with a concrete slab floor. We do not want to have carpeting and I thought of installing a radiant heat system if that would be feasible. Or would we be better off with just using baseboard heaters? Thanks for your help.

Can radiant floor heating be installed in the concrete pour, then after concrete has sufficiently cured (28 days) can a resinous coating, such as a epoxy/polyurethane floor coating be installed on a floor that will later be radiant heated. My concern is that these coatings are very moisture intolerant. Does radiant floor products, create any moisture in the slab that could rise to the surface. Does changes in temps affect the moisture levels in concrete. Electric radiant floor products seem to be best.
Pipes filled with hot water to me is a concern. Do the pipes “sweat” causing condensation or are they wrapped. I am currently on a large project and these questions are coming up in the design forum.

My hot water tank seems to be getting cold fast and I have radiant heat at the house. The tank is about 10 years old.

There is a new law concerning CO detectors. This may be a dumb question, but are these required if you do not utilize gas for anything? My lights, and cooking are electric, and I use radiant heat, where the floor baseboards are heated from a boiler in a large apartment building.Thanks.
