    Radiant Tubes in the Floor...Now What?

    forced air or hot water with radiators for shop???

    Hydronic would be my choice for the space mentioned. It really depends on your opinion, each one has its pros and cons. I don't like forced air, because it throws around all the dust in the area, leaving me always questioning if the area is really clean.
