Architectural concrete for the Jones
Jan 23 2009
The perimeter foundation was poured first. Then after structural fill, 2" insulation, vapor barrier, sand and reinforcement were placed, the crew installed the radiant tubing. A pretty brown color was chosen by the clients for their finished concrete floor color. We'll be back to install a 97% efficient solar phoenix hot water heater and 6 zone radiant heating system with solar thermal assist once the roof is on.
