We actually ended up not doing radiant floor heating at all. How do people handle the transition? I'm guessing its not worth raising the subfloor in all the other areas by the same amount to match. I'm assuming that the radiant flooring will add a little bit of height to the floor, so that the kitchen/dining/bathroom areas will be slightly taller than the living room and family room floors. We are doing a relatively open-floor concept. The radiant flooring will be under the kitchen/dining/bathroom areas, but not under the living room and family room areas.

Are they any other brands that would be recommended instead?

It seems that the most efficient way to go would be with one of the radiant floor products that is installed above the subfloor, using PEX and aluminum, etc.ĭoes anyone have any experience with WarmBoard and EcoWarm? The two companies do not seem to like each other very much, and I'm not sure how to judge which one to go with (other than that EcoWarm is apparently less expensive, according to both companies). (We have been told by several professionals that our boiler is easily powerful enough to handle everything we want it to do.) We have decided to put radiant floor heating under the kitchen/dining room area and under the new bathroom, and it will be "powered" by our high efficiency natural gas boiler.

The floors in the kitchen and dining room are being replaced, so I'll have access to the subfloor. We are renovating our first floor, including moving a bathroom and re-doing/enlarging kitchen, etc.
