What type of radiant floor did you put in, and what did it cost you? I don't know why We haven't thought about that for mill use, but we've seen it used for lots of commercial and high end residential uses.
john I have a good friend who owns a supply company he gave me a good deal used this insulation kinda like bubble wrap clear plastic on one side foil on the other then I ran 1200 ft of orange tubing called pex tubing wire tied it to mesh my floor is 24 x 32 counting 5 inches of cement it cost me 1700 700 was for concrete I have a wood fired burner boiler ill burn my scrap wood and also use it to heat a kiln im building
I would like to put in a radiant heat cement floor in my new garage. I have hopes of putting in a shop - however, Dad has my tools in the first garage. Maybe we should just put a new floor in the old garage and just do a basic one for the new garage.
