My husband & I bought a home that needed a great deal of work! We’re both handy & prefer lake home improvement projects, the two of us looked forward to saving currency by doing the majority of the labor ourselves, then it was necessary to completely gut the study rooms & bathrooms.

All of the windows, appliances, light fixtures & plumbing fixtures needed to be replaced.

The two of us also decided to tear up all of the floors, not only was the brown carpeting stained & ugly, however there were some concerns with water destruction. There was also the opportunity to install radiant floors. The home was already outfitted with a boiler in the basement. The boiler was originally attached to radiators located in each of the rooms. The radiators were harshly old, took up a great deal of space & were dangerous. They became super warm when running, & we uneasy about the teenagers & the dog getting burned, however plus, I was worried to have more living space & more freedom of furniture arrangement. The radiators were rather ugly. The beauty of radiant floors is that all of the essential unit is concealed. The system takes up no living space, doesn’t detract from aesthetics & operates silently. The boiler heats up water, pumps it through a network of pipes & the heat spreads evenly across the floor. There are no drafts or cold spots… Because the heat is infused rather than blown into the air, it creates very even hot & cold temperatures. This type of heating is very clean, energy efficient & low in service. The two of us also prefer the benefits of zone control… Each room can be set to a different temperature depending on occupancy, requirements & preference.
