I just put in about 2100 ft. of Wirsbo brand tubing (1/2" dia.) in my new shop floor. I won't be using the system until next fall. I'm trying to decide what type of heat source. I'm leaning toward a power-vent hot water heater with a circulation pump and expansion tank, just like full boiler system. With the power vent, I can vent out the side wall and not have to cut a hole in my new roof (I'm a little paranoid about leaks, I guess). There is more expense up front, since you should really insulate under the slab and along side the slab and/or footings. I put 1.5" extruded under the slab, and 2" extruded insulation around the perimeter of the footings. You can put the tubing under the slab in a thick layer of sand. This will add the the thermal mass that will absorb the heat and radiate it upwards. Wirsbo puts out a neat little installation booklet with instructions and ideas. You might be able to get one from Wirsbo, or you local dealer. I'd check with a local plumbing contractor who installs such systems. I'm doing the work myself.
