Subject: SB: Portable Radient Floor:
OT
Question re. radient floor. While we plan and build our strawbale
home in north central Washington, we plan on living in a yurt. After the
house is done, we expect that the yurt will move off the property. Thus,
although we'd like to have radient heat, we don't want to pour a slab.
What about this: An insulated deck, on top of which will be laid brick
or those 4" thick solid concrete blocks on a sand set. Then, run the
tubing on the blocks and float a wood floor over the tubing. That way,
the whole shootin match can be moved when/if needed. Do you all think it
would work, or would the thin "slab" with wood over, combined with the not so
stellar insulation of the yurt itself, make such a system not
worthwhile. Thanks in advance for your imput.
