1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2013

This book is nothing more than a general overview of radiant floor heating. If you've arrived here and are considering buying the book, you've likely spent a little time online gleaning what you can about radiant heat. This book won't tell you much more than you have likely already learned.

The writing is horrible. I don't know who edited this thing, but it's atrocious. The author will spend an entire section - multiple pages - describing a concept that could be relayed using bullet points. I'm sure he's a great contractor, and the information is likely accurate, but this thing could have been edited down to half the size. Additionally, there are figures within the text that are either not referenced, or don't provide any sort of information - as if they were just cut and pasted from manufacturer's literature, with no thought as to why it's included/displayed. There is absolutely no guidance on how to design a system. Zero.

If you're here to learn more about radiant floors because you want them in your home and you're planning to have someone else design and install the system, you can spend a little more time looking around online and obtain the same information for free. If you are looking to design a system for yourself, don't waste your time with this book. Simply do an internet search for the Uponor Complete Design Assistance Manual. It's everything this book should have been. And more.

My background - for what it's worth - I'm an engineer by training (B.S. and M.S.) and have been a remodeling contractor for the past 6 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and practical. Great for DIY'ers.

Great book with practical basic info on radiant in floor heating. Probably enough info for you to do your own installation provided you are a hands-on, build-it-yourself kind of person. If not, it at least gives you an understanding of the process so you can be informed and wary of installers who are not experienced.

1.0 out of 5 stars Heating systems for Americans
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 11, 2012

The book is next to useless for the uk. It is written for American systems and quotes all US branded goods.
As a book it is also very repetitive . So the ancient Romans used to have under floor heating systems - who cares .
Worse , he tells you that in the prologue and chapter 1 and at several other points in the book. The diagrams are poor and many are repeated several times in rhe book for no obvious benefit- it's just padding. In summary, if you live in the UK don't waste your money.

I did not find this book of much use for myself. I am a homeowner who wanted to upgrade my heating system to radiant floor. The book has lot of advice on how to run a profitable business but not much practical info for DIY.
