comprehensive book

This book explains the why and how of implementing radiant floor heat. Very interesting with a few hints of doing it right over just doing it.

Radiant Floor Heating

This book is very comprehensive. The author explains just about everything you would need to know. However I would have enjoyed reading about solar applications in combination with what the author had to offer. Still, I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to install radiant floor heating. Book on solar heating do not provide the necessary details found here.

very usable
