A recent history of under-floor heating
I live in new england and don't have them
#i live in a house built in the 50s#apart from being kind of expensive it's also a newer technology#it'll become cheaper as the technology ages#and it'll become more widespread with new developments#my dad is a mid-level mechanical engineer. when he renovated the house he updated the heating system#he installed it under bathroom floor and entryway tile#another hindrance is skill level#in my area of the u.s. there was one contractor who claimed to know how to do it#he botched the wiring on the front entrance so only half of it works. AND didn't test the system before permanently gluing the tile on top#(he then proceeded to coat a porous (and out of production) marble with thin grouting but that's not related to hard flooring)#personal#architecture#tumblr#technology#link#conductive heating (like using a mountain pie maker full of hot coals to warm Victorian feetsies) has been around since 5.000 B.C.E. so...#now you know#history
