Default Re: Radiant Floor Heat

Perfect. Thanks for the advice!
basement - below grade had concrete floor, no tubing so will heat with wood stove for now. First floor and second floor, 12" floor joists are open from below. (remember it's 75% finished). So will need to run the pex under the 1st floor subfloor (access from below - basement ceiling). Then, from what I am learning, you insullate the floor joist space to direct the heat back up into the first floor structure, and that should heat the first floor. Same thing with 2nd floor, although as heat raises, probably wont need to use 2nd floor heat much.

I'm diving in head first!!! Thanks all! I'll let ya know when the house warming party is
