I'm in the early stages of planning a new garage build this year. My last garage had a gas ceiling mount heater, worked well but the heat was in the top half of the shop, not so much under the car.

Friends are telling me about this radiant in floor heating and I like the idea :)
I don't know much about it.

Is there a thread I can read on installing one in The Garage Journal someone can recommend from start to finish? What insulation do I use under the cement and most importantly , how can I locate the tubes after the cement when I want to drill for bolting in hoists without hitting a tube?

Any supply house for these parts in Southern Ontario?
Thanks for any help
