hydronic heating

| Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

I am considering the installation a of hydronic heating system, using a thin (1.5 ins) slab of concrete over a floor with 5/8ths plywood glued and screwed to TGI joists, 16 ins on center. What techniques should be observed, and is there a specific concrete mix which should be used for this type of application?

    Contact WIRSBRO and ask for their book.  It will answer your questions.  In western PA contact Energy Reduction.  This has always worked for me.
