Darrens new workshop
kvom:
You don't have to worry about the floor being too hot. Assuming the rest of the building has good insulation the floor will be barely warm to the touch to give a nice comfortable air termperature. I set my thermostat to 59F during the winter, and found that resulting air temp was quite comfortable for working in shirtsleeves. Keep the doors closed! You might consider putting some insulation onto the inside of the doors. Regardless of whether the edges of the floor have tube, the concrete will still need to be heated, so it's actually better to distribute the tubing evenly across the entire area.
There is some advantage in using two interwoven loops rather than a single loop, and the water is cooled less at the ends when the loops are shorter. Main thing is to limit any single loop to less than 200'.

Thought it was about time I threw in a couple of updates...
The outside rendering is almost finished, just smooth areas under the bells on a couple of walls and it's done.
And a peek inside. It's a mess cos nothing is organised as I need to finish insulating and dry lining the walls. One wall is almost done but lack of funds has slowed the progress... :(

Fair do's Darren, you're sure motoring on now :clap:
Looks like a few weeks/month-ish and you'll have a very nice shop to "play" in :ddb:
I'll have to get my lazy a$$ over there and see how you and it are doing :thumbup:
