> Am looking forward to having radiant floor heat. Was just told by one > builder can't do wooden floors over it. We have wooden floors over radiant (hot water in plastic pipes) heat everywhere. Most units have the standard type of wooden flooring; at least one unit upgraded to Kahrs (factory-finished planks). Both seem to be working fine although there is a considerable delay from turning the heat on to noticing a rise in temperature. One thing that was done wrong here was that the radiant floor heat is the same in all rooms. But that's not what you need! South facing rooms get a lot of solar heating while north facing rooms get none. The net result is that the southern rooms are a lot warmer than the northern rooms. If I had it to do over again, I'd put more heat coils in the northern rooms and less in the southern, to balance out the overall warmth. You might also want more heat on the lower floors and less on the upper, since heat rises anyway. Howard A.
