We put in a machine shop here last year and put in radiant heat. I am glad we did, it is real nice heat and very effecient. Here are a couple things for you to keep in mind.1) Plan everything out before you start, ie; we've since talked about putting in a lift but don't now dare drill into the floor. You can use a more expensive pipe that lets you locate it later. 2) Put in overhead doors as opposed to sliders. Sliders are hard to seal. 3) Put the foam board down as the other feller suggested. 4) Plan on a good furnace as ours was hooked up when it was cold out and the 96,000 btu furnace ran for a week to get the rock warmed. I do not think you could use a water heater unless you live in a warmer climate. The only time this type of heat is not truely appreciated is in the spring and fall when it runs all night to heat the floor and by the time the floor is warm we have to open the doors to let in cooler air because it warmed up outside. Just my 2cents.
