There are so many good sounding ideas for
improving homes/new building projects on this site. Often, tho, I wonder if they
would work in my climate. Perhaps knowing the general location where they are
successfully implemented would be helpful.
Case-in-point: the last post of GBD, 10-29-'01
about retrofitting radiant-type heat under new floor. I have similar need, but
live in SD with weather frequently ranging from low of minus 40% (sometimes
several degrees worse!), to plus 110% or more in summer. My room being remodeled
is in an existing walk-out basement, 35 years old with no insulation under
floor, tile will likely be directly on concrete due to low (7' 3")
ceiling height. What are my options? Could I lay the tiles on some sort of blue
board with the heat cables between the two? Grateful thanks for any advice or
cautions, mj
