The House Building Blog—In Floor Heating

The hot water heating tubes snake their way around the basement on top of styro-foam insulation. The rebar mesh (which the heating tubes are sitting on) will be pulled up to the center of the concrete once the floor slab is poured.

All the tubes originate from and terminate at a temporary plywood mounting board (back center of photo). Once the basement walls are framed, this board will be mounted on a wall inside the utility room.

Pat has started to install the in floor heating tubes on the main level. The tubes come up through the floor then zig-zag around everywhere before returning back down to the boiler for the water to get reheated.
