Happy New Year! We are looking forward to a great 2011 here in Montana. As this first week of January comes to a close, the weather is cooperating. We warmed up to 27 degrees after having below-zero temperatures the last week of the year, making it possible for work to continue on the AmDeck flooring system installation.

Happy New Year! We are looking forward to a great 2011 here in Montana. As this first week of January comes to a close, the weather is cooperating. We warmed up to 27 degrees after having below-zero temperatures the last week of the year, making it possible for work to continue on the AmDeck flooring system installation.
The installation will be completed in two sections. The first will be the garage floor and section two will be the remainder of the first floor area. The concrete pour for the first section should be complete by the middle of next week. (Read about the AmDeck insulated concrete forms (ICF) flooring system here.)
In addition, installation of radiant heating has begun. Workers are onsite today laying out the RAUPEX crosslinked polyethylene (PEXa) pipe, which will be embedded in the concrete and suspended wood floors of the home. A heat transfer fluid will be circulated through this pipe system, which will be connected to the geothermal heat pump system. (Read about the REHAU radiant heating system here.)
