She has a ranch type house,no basement.
In her slab of cement there are coils running through the cement and in these coils there is hot water running through them.Thus keeping your tootsies warm.Her floor is so warm as is the whole house.Her hydro bill runs about 400.00 per month. |
Yikes  Thats pricey. I would just wear my fuzzy slippers. I was envisioning hotel bathroom floor heating. I guess its not the same? |

| It may be similar to the system that some hotels have for the bathroom floor. Just think of it as hot water constantly circulating under the floor. It's nice and warm. My water bill is not any higher because the water just recirculates back the the water heater. It does require a separate water heater though. Think of it like an old home that used radiators for heat. The radiators are just under the floor. |

Environmentally friendly
Resists-impact,STAINS,household chemicals,fading,scratching,and burns.
We have this throughout the house with the use of runners and area rugs.It has a nice texture to it so not alot of slipping.
We are very pleased with this product.  |
Is it online? A google for "promo" is kinda tough to dig through. |
Chris I found it www.afaforest.com we went with the hickory it is very grainy and compliments almost any color of decor u might have. |
