Electric vs Hydronic In Floor Heating

Basically, electric floor heating and water based floor heating offers the same superior heating comfort. However 3 specific subjects are in favour of the electrical solution

Low Height Build Up Is Well Suited For Renovation

Electric floor heating is better suited for renovation purposes. With electric floor heating, you do not have to dig up the existing floor to make room for water pipes in 4″ to 5″ depth.

Simply roll out the self-adhesive Danfoss LX mat to the existing floor, thin set over the mats and lay your new tiles – and you have a new floor at a total additional height of 1/8″ plus tile height.

Quick Reaction Means Good Heating Economy

Electric floor heating is the better solution unless you want to have the heating turned on permanently. Because electric floor heating cables or mats are placed just under the floor covering, the floor reacts quickly and without delay – whereas water based floor heating is covered with a 4″ to 5″ concrete slab causing delays in reaction time for several hours.

Electric floor heating is therefore very well suited for advanced timer-controls, so that you only heat the room when you are actually at home, this is sound economy and good for the environment.

Simply Less Complicated

Electric floor heating is significantly less complicated, easier to plan, cheaper to install, less expensive to purchase and you can do a lot of the work yourself.

Installing Ipe Decking Tile Over Existing Surface

The difference is in the construction, installation and use of the products. The Ipe decking tile comes in 12″x12″ and 12″x24″ sizes and random length Ipe comes from 6ft to 16ft. Random length Ipe decking attaches to the top of existing 2×6 joists. The Ipe decking tiles get installed over existing older deck surfaces such as pressure treated, cedar or any older deck surface that you wish to cover up because its no longer looks nice or no longer fits the landscape surroundings. The random length Ipe decking is not condusive to using in applications such as balconies or rooftops as its  just not as convenient to get the random length product onto the job site. The Ipe decking tiles come in boxes which can be easily stored at job site and also can be handled very easily by one person. Random length Ipe must be installed using face mounted fasteners or hidden deck fasteners where there is no required fasteners to install the Ipe decking tiles as they simply snap and lock into place which will resultin hundreds of dollars of cost savings vs standard face mounting or hidden deck fastener installations. Random length Ipe decking will cost somewhere between $8.00 and $10.00 per sqft for a 5/4×6 deck board and another $3.00 to $4.00 to install including labor and fastening supplies. The Ipe decking tiles sell retail for between $13.00 and $15..00  per sqft which is slightly higher vs random length Ipe, but where you can install, andthe cost and ease of installing, the Ipe decking tiles provides a much greater advantage over random length decking.
