Radiant Heat Floors
Messages:
Bradley Said,
Anybody here have radiant heat flooring or know anything about it. We are planning our dream home and this is something I would like to consider for at least the kitchen.
Shaun Said,
Radiant heat is really nice, don't stop with just the kitchen I would do the whole house. It is pretty darn energy efficient and it is nice to have the heat throughout the rooms and not have warm and cold spots.
We have kids that are always playing on the floor and it makes it much warmer for them and we like that too.
Ben Said,
I have heard concrete floors are the best for radiant heat, is this true?
Shaun Said,
I guess I don't know what is "best" we have carpet, hardwood, and tile in our home and all of it has radiant heat. We never had any problems.
Dev Said,
The grout in my kitchen floor is cracking (the only room that has radiant heat in my home) what do I do and what caused it. I have the same tile in my laundry room and it is fine.
Kelly Said,
Sounds to me like someone didn't let the grout cure all the way before it was turned on. Since it is fine in the room without the heat. The only other thing would be too much water was mixed in with the kitchen grout.
You really don't have any other option but to take out the cracked grout and put in new. Just be careful adding the water and let it cure good before using your radiant heat again.
