Concrete floors....

Hey, I have only installed and dealt with regular carpet floors in homes in the past, and have never installed a concrete floor. I am going to do this for my own home as I saw it in a log cabin and really liked the system. I am going to install a wisbro radiant floor heating system and would like to have an all colored slab as my floor (no carpets, tile, e.t.c) through my entire house. I know this is possible, but is it easy to do, expensive, and how do I do it? This isn't a common application in my area. Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Mid and pour, it is as simple as that. You probably don't even need to take the old carpet out. Just go on top of everything.

No...

No, I wasn't saying you could only install them under concrete slab, I was saying I would prefer to install it underneath a concrete floor.
