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.

Re: Concrete Floors....


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.

Re: Concrete Floors....


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.
