My Dad bought this a few years ago for his house and I'd like to use the same stuff. Very easy to install and is pretty rigid for what it is. I did a few searches online, but cant find the same stuff. I like the small hand rail profile and the lower section doesn't hold water. Unfortunately...

I installed a 2 stage radiant tube in my shop. It runs pretty much all the time and takes a long time to get to 60 deg. BUT, I don't have any insulation in the ceiling yet so I'm going to let it slide until I do, then see how it performs. My question is can you tell/hear a difference in the...

Which box? Wiring will be from backside, box surface mounted. I don't care about seeing the box if that's what it takes. I tried search, didn't see anything. Would one of those shallow "pan" boxes work? Would like to screw into bottom of trusses.

Has anyone used any of the interlocking tiles in a shop with an infra red radiant tube heater? My ceiling is 10 ft, already have the heater designed for this height. I am looking at buying the supra tiles from overstock. I asked the salesman and he said no issues that he knows of, but you...
