Hydronic heat under carpet

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
I am considering running hydronic heat under my bedroom floor. the floor is approx 14×29 feet, and is supported by 5×9 inch gluelams. The beams are covered by 1.5 inches of OSB. I am going to cover the OSB with carpet.
I was considering running 1/2 inch copper tubing under the floor.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

    Sounds expensive, try PEX tubing
