BGH - Ryland's Radiant Floor Heating and Cooling

[TheVmarketer]

For the most part, all flooring can be used with in-floor radiant heating. I have built several homes in Interior Alaska where the winter temps reach -50F-60F. I experimented with several radiant configurations. Radiant floor heat is is by far the most efficient and comfortable heating. Imagine opening an exterior door at -45F and not feel a freezing draft blast through your home. If you have allergies as I do you will breath sleep and breath must better. Forced air distributes allergens.

Great work :)  Anyone know the electrical draw on that heater? I'd like to find a way to set something similar and powered by solar so I can be off grid.

@donsjuand if you want to heat with solar use panels that heat water directly, way more efficient than photovoltaics

@MontanaRadiant I know what you mean. I live in Ontario, where winters are cold. Do solar radiator water heaters work in the cold? Do you have any websites to recommend? If so, thanks for your time!

What types of flooring are compatable with this heating system? It looks like this man has expensive stone tiles..

[zekehooper]

That is actually a cement floor with color added. It's amazing what you can do with cement.

I think you can also use wood flooring also?

@hilarycopp Ceramic tiles are typically used, due to their thermal properties.
