Radiant Floor Heating

These first 2 pictures show the D. family home and that they are putting down the tubes for the Radiant flooring going down..... I'm not sure yet as to what they will be using as a finished floor materials you 'l have to come back to see.....first photo is showing it done in this Living room area...the picture is taken from the upstairs.

Here you see them placing the tubes and tacking them into place.

The rest of these photo's are other customers homes that also have used the Radiant heating but what you'll be seeing is just the finished floor above them...

This above home used this great slate stones and did their own pattern over the tubes that where set in light weight concrete over the sub flooring....

This home used regular concrete and then stained it .....

The next 3 photos are in the same home that also used light weight concrete here in the kitchen they did Hickory hardwood that came raw and they stained it.

In their entry they used Slate tiles.....

And the in the Living room they put carpet over it ......so as you can see from these photos that it can have just about any flooring or just concrete over the tubes.....I can tell you that our customers who have this type of heating love it !

Just a month later !

A month after the logs came this is what the home of the D. family looks like ( if you wonder what I'm talking about look at the next post to see )....everybody is very happy as to how fast things are going.....you can see the Gable End where there will be a deck wrapping around from the front porch. There is a big window in the living room part and a slider door in the dining room and above you will see at the end of this post how they will also have some glass to look out of from the second floor.

This is the other end of the home where the bedrooms are kids on main floor and mom & dad above them.

I took this picture from the living room part of the great room....on the main floor will be the kids bedrooms on that back wall and at the top of the ladder and right will be an open loft and to the left of the ladder will be master bed and bath.

I'm standing in the open loft area looking back to the Master. See the log posts and ridge beam along with the wood flooring that will get finished at the end of the project. See the framed out opening in the framed wall just behind the ladder....keep watch to see what happens there....

Here are 2 samples of what could take place in that wall.....

Above look behind the stove pipe that is an old window that is opening up to the master bedroom . Below is also in a master bedroom on the second floor......just a fun way to bring light and heat into a bedroom and not lose the view with a wall.

OK so back to the home under construction ....

Here I'm standing at the kitchen island area looking at the dining room window on left and slider with board in front to keep it safe.

We always suggest that once you have a roof on it is time to clean up the wood...so here our home owner is washing his beams and you can see they have prepared for the kitchen lighting because they have done a post and beam second system so the Tongue & Grove ( T&G) 2 x 6 wood you see in between the beams is the ceilings on the main floor and the wood flooring on the second floor so there isn't a void for the wiring to run in later.

Love this picture and the best part of what we do is to get to know new people and become a part of their lives .....isn't she the cutest !

Above you can see they have framed in for the future glass going in that end....this picture was taken a couple of days after we where there along with the last one in this post that shows the metal roofing going on.....

Stop by and stay up with this project along with other posts.....
