Hey guys,
I am installing an in slab radiant system for a winery. The area of the room being heated is about 1600 sq feet.
Because of the size of the area I am using 3/4" pex to reduce the # of zones needed. However I am curious as to how far apart you would space the loops? I am thinking 12" but I am sort of thinking that may be a touch close. Maybe 14"?
The room will be quite tall as well @ 20' tall. However the building will be well insulated because most of the building will be under ground and insulated with 1.5" insulation below the slab and I am thinking R-40 all around. There are no windows either.
I have never ran an in-slab system for a building like this and unfortunately the guy at the whole-saler who's job it is to design system like this (they have all the fancy software) is away for the week and I need to start this install within 2 days.
Thanks to anyone who answers!
