I have hardwood floors and I'm sick and tired of them being cold on my feet.  I have heard of radiant heating that can be installed under hardwood, but now that my floors are installed, is there anything that I can do about it?  http://www.findanyfloor.com/rss/forum/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/tiredofcoldhardwood-1238.xmlen-Us60Sat, 21 Nov 2009 06:08:20 ESTCopyright 2009, FindAnyFloor.com All Right Reservedhttp://www.findanyfloor.com/forum/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/tiredofcoldhardwood-1238.xhtmlIf you're on a wood floor over a crawl space, you could have a plumber install a radiant heating system through your joists. It would be fairly expensive, but it can be done. Other than that, strategically placed throw rugs can always warm-up a hardwood floor as well as add an interesting design element to a room.   Good luck Wed, 24 Jun 2009 07:45:12 ESThttp://www.findanyfloor.com/forum/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/tiredofcoldhardwood-1238.xhtmlFindAnyFloor.comtired of cold hardwoodhttp://www.findanyfloor.com/forum/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/tiredofcoldhardwood-1238.xhtmlI didn't realize that radiant heating could be placed between floor boards.  Can I use both electric or hydronic radiant heating?

I have only seen it done with hot water. You might ask a few electricians in your area if they've ever retrofit an electric radiant heating system. I've never heard of it, but I'm just a floor guy, so what do I know!? In my area a hot water system with a gas-fired boiler is the most common.    Good luck.  Wed, 24 Jun 2009 07:45:12 ESThttp://www.findanyfloor.com/forum/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/tiredofcoldhardwood-1238.xhtmlFindAnyFloor.comtired of cold hardwoodhttp://www.findanyfloor.com/forum/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/ClimateFriendlyFlooring/tiredofcoldhardwood-1238.xhtmlThanks Scott.  I'll look into that.  I appreciate your help!
