OK lets try this one. I've recently moved and I'm planning to convert an old 20 X 40' drive shed to a workshop. The existing cement floor has some deep cracks and to remove this floor would be darn n

It is likely your existing floor has cracks because it has settled due to cavitation. You should have the base mud-jacked for support (fill the hollows under your old floor with a slurry mixture) bef

I agree with Tom. I put radiant heat in my shop floor when I built from scratch and I was very concerned about how the tubing would handle settlement. The tubing does not appear to be able to take mu

So far all the approaches seem VERY expensive. Putting pipes in a slab of cement also means it takes a long time to get any heat out of the system. I'd put a grid of 2X4's down on 16" centers and lay

heated floors are real neat untill the cement starts to react with the plumbing and rots the plumbing away. had this experience in a lincoln/mercury dealership i worked at back in the mid 80's. they

Removing the old floor would probably be a real job! If you can spare the headroom, an overpour would be much easier. Besides, the old concrete has stabilized over the years and probably isn't going

Note that a good grade of Pex pipe (pex-a) will take a great deal of flexing and stretching without harm. I would probably guess that your slab has done all the settling it will ever do unless you're

looked Henry, Very nice compliment for radiant floor and Wirsbo. Wirsbo has been at it longer than anyone with pex pipe and the heat is unbeatable, both for comfort and economy. Wirsbo also sponsors

My dad had the same experience with steel pipe in the shop floors of several of the buildings he had built for the Hertz rental stations he ran. Nowadays we use Pex (cross-linked polyethylene) which

you got one response from the Wirsbo Rep on the list, as a radiant heating contractor in the san francisco area I will second his recommendation of using a high quality PEX tubing,(PEX is short for c

Here! Here! I couldn't agree more with your assesment of outdoor reset, but the cost of controls can scare some people off. I guess it's a matter of degree; just how comfortable or efficient do you
