    Very educational. This is like the senior engineer who knows just about all there is to know about a system.
  • @zachschultz1638
    The production value does not match the view count. This channel deserves a lot more attention
  • Well put together video, and Bob is the man! You're creating a very professional tutorial library that is also a subcontractors reference and fun to watch. Thank you.
  • @micmike
    Yes excellent help and advice.
  • Such great information! you addressed lack of continuity in the vapour barrier at the edges of the rapid grid, but could you elaborate on your final solution??
  • @coopercarter
    Damn this is great. Avoids nailing down warmboard direct on a slab.
  • @metalpeck
    Can't wait to see the Hydronic Air Handlers!
  • More contractors need to understand heat, comon' boys listen to Bob.
  • Will you be going through the entire HVAC system in the next vid including air exchange and other components? Curious what the whole system looks like.
  • @leoteufel2439
    So if I understand the process. You have a 2" foam with vapor barrier membrane on top of graded gravel with 6" concrete overlay. Wouldn't you want the heat closer to the top half of the slab instead of the bottom for better heat distribution? Noting that you will have to make allowances for partition wall attachment ahead of time.
  • What thickness and R value would be the best for a two car garage where the concrete would be 4 inch thick and the floor heated with PEX Tubing?
  • @Road_to_Tolaria
    7:12 Spidercrack. Word of the day. Great content. Edit Question. How would you go about affixing partition walls to a slab with hydronics? If the slab were thick enough, then traditional fasteners might still be the way to go but since the outcome is extremely negative if anything goes wrong I'm trying to learn other ways before I do my own project.

    What does the Veiga board sitting on top of? Is it just crushed stone or sand?
  • @DanLiese
    My son a contractor and myself are doing a total restoration project in Stonington CT and are going to have radiant heat installed in LL basement, and 1st and 2nd floors throughout. We are considering a Viega system and Warm Board System. Can someone give me a honest comparison on one over the other. I have been told that plumbing/heating contractors always recommend Viega system because the have large markup and make much more money than if they just install a Warm Board system. Someone please help as we are also getting ready to build our custom 2800 sq ft one level home starting this year. thanks for your help. dan

    What’s the cost breakdown of that whole system? Material Cost and Labor to install? difference in cost with a different approach? Long term utility bill cost?
