RE: IML: Garage

["Rob McCall" <Rob_Mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The term John is looking for is Radiant Heat Flooring.  I've experienced it,
and I'll probably retrofit my house with it.  When the "Dream Garage" is
built, it will have it as well.

    If you are going to heat it, consider the type heat that uses coils
under the floor.  You insulate the ground under the coils, put a little sand
down, then put your coils down, and put a bunch of sand down, then pour
concrete on top of the sand.  You use a glycol in the system, not pure
water.  You can heat a buildng like yours with a 50 gallon water heater,
although you can buy boilers that are a whale of a lot more efficient, but
they cost a whole lot more initially.  Be certain who ever designs and
installs the system knows what they are doing.  This is a quick and dirty
explanation, but definately not the full course.
