Radiant heat floors??

Well, we are biting the bullet and ripping up our floors to put in radiant heat. We had already decided to go with these beautiful wood floors, we even already have the wood. But after a trip to the Green Festival we realized it was time to minimize our carbon footprint with heating. We will use the wood in other rooms, so it won't go to waste!

We are exploring different designs. One option is to create a poured concrete grid above the pattern of the pipes and to then put leather floors in large patchwork squares. Or pour the entire thing . . .

Who knows???? Exciting times . . . .
