Have you seen the electric radiant "sheets" that get installed within a 3/4"
mud bed? They look like your car's rear window defrosters. I did not catch
the name but will the next time I visit this project - 25,000 SF single
family "house" in Manhattan.

My favorite system is a product called Warmboard ( www.warmboard.com
<http://www.warmboard.com/> ) which is a Douglas Fir plywood subfloor
product with an aluminum sheet bonded to it. It has tubing tracks molded
right into it. Since the heating is very even due to the aluminum surface,
it works excellent under any kind of flooring material. It’s not as
practical for retrofits since it is intended to replace the standard plywood
or OSB (pressed horse shit) subflooring.

Rudy,
 
What would you think of this shit (I mean, extremely fabulous product) glued
to a slab on grade at basement floor level, for use under ceramic tile?
Which is to say, how soon will it rot to hell between water from the
bathroom and ground water?  The existing CT floor and walls in this
bathroom, and the rest of the basement are dry.  Is this stuff available for
use with electric heating elements?
 
Thanks.
Ralph
