Title: DIY Hydronic plumbing and heat distribution
Post by: freds on December 30, 2019, 03:13:17 PM
I remember seeing another busnut's design where he routed channels for PEX tubing into plywood for radiant heating.

While I won't be using it, I came across a product that has channels with a preformed aluminum skin for better heat distribution.

You have to custom order from the manufacture and it normally comes in 4 X 8 foot sheets.

However for remodels they have 2 X 4 foot sheets, that you could also install on the walls.

Seems like it might be a nice system if you are converting a bus from scratch and you need to replace the plywood floor anyway.
