Don't you just love that radiant heat?? We have it in our basement floor as well as the first floor. I spend most of my time year round bare foot inside and warm floors in the middle of winter in Vermont are really nice. And no registers to collect dust!! When we built our house 10 years ago, that was my first priority. The second was warm and cold water mixed for the toilets. That way the tank doesn't sweat from the cold water.
