Radiant heat placed in between floor joists from the crawlspace? [View all]

Can my long held dream of heated floors come true? I wanted them in my bathroom sooooo badly, and now I hear that the heaters (or heating pads) can be placed between the floor joists. As I always ask, does anyone have any experience with this?

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

Alas, my bathroom is already done, and I don't have radiant flooring in there LaydeeBug Feb 2016 #2

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
