It is the size of a postage stamp, so that *might* change. One day. In the meantime, my "not yet a kitchen" has sub floor and I really want radiant flooring in there, but my contractor friend (I have not hired him, and probably won't as I like to keep my friends) said it would raise the floor a lot.

I am willing to do this trade.

Radiant heat placed in between floor joists from the crawlspace? [View all] LaydeeBug Feb 2016 OP

The radiant heating that is run along the joists is heated water in plastic tubes. rusty quoin Feb 2016 #1

Okay. I didn't know that it would raise the floor a lot. I'm not willing to do that. rusty quoin Feb 2016 #3

IMO, the best way to do radiant and tile is to embed the wires/mat in self leveling concrete. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2016 #4
