Combining Heated and Concrete Floors
For projects requiring both heated and concrete floors, we integrate the heating system into the concrete installation process:
- Prepare the subbase and install insulation
- Lay out the heating system on top of the insulation
- Pour concrete over the heating elements
- Finish and cure the concrete as usual
- Install electrical connections and thermostat
- Test and commission the heating system
