I have a small kitchen 15x 10 that I gutting and redoing from scratch. One wall houses a small hot water radiator. I am planning to remove this radiator. I do not want to lose the heat source though. What I plan to do is route pex under the kitchen floor to make it radiant in this room. I do not plan to pour a cement floor over the PEX cause I can not add any additional height to the floor. I was going to route the pex under the subfloor and across the joists in one continuous loop and tap into the existing radiator connections and insulate below it so the heat can only radiate up. Maybe even add some reflective material to ensure the heat is not lost downward. Basement is all open so I have full access to do this. Does this sound like the best solution for my application. The finished floor will be tile.
