searching this forum I've found several threads of radiant floor heating under a concrete floor used for auto repair, with lifts, etc. So obviously it is doable, which I thought it would be a problem. But I have a couple of questions about the requirements.
I'm a noob to this forum and to RF heating and still have research to do before going forward. My initial question is I thought the flexible pex under the concrete would cause it to prematurely crack and break? Is there some technique that needs to be done to prevent this that is not done on a "normal" floor? And can I get away with a 4" slab concrete? Is doing RF heating under concrete with cars and lifts a more complicated endeavor (read expensive) than floors in your house for example?
Thanks.
