Would these be appropriate for installation on a heated concrete floor in a workshop area?

yes, if the radiant surface is not "too warm". They will also counter some of the radiant properties (similar to carpet) of the concrete floor, but I wouldn't fret too much about that.

No it would not..... I have radient heat in my whole home. This would stop the heat from rising.

They probably could be, but I wouldn't. The dirt would have to be perfectly flat or the tiles won't connect to each other. I don't know your climate, but what would happen if it rained a lot and the dirt underneath got soft? Or what about snow? The tiles may no longer be even. I used these tiles for an indoor application on a concrete floor. They are fantastic. I've seen them installed around a pool area on one of the home improvement shows, but I can't remember what surface they were using underneath. It may have been dirt but maybe you could research them online at HGTV or one of those kinds of sites and get better information. They probably could be, but I wouldn't.

There isn't typically any radiant heat in a crawl space, so I'm not sure why you would install it there. Not that you couldn't, but there are cheaper options if all you're looking for is a vapor barrier.

I don't specifically know, but strongly suspect it would be way too hot. We had ours on concrete and kept a large 20" tile underneath to prevent the concrete from cracking. The entire unit heats up so I think it would melt the composite material. I'd call the decking company.

Probably not. They have a carpet like surface for sliding on wood floors. They probably will not slide on Concrete because the surface is rough compared to a wood floor.

I have not tried, but feel it would be an excellent choice. Since they are not clad, you may wish to place them inside a cast iron skillet for the same heat distribution effect that cladding would provide.

Dont see why not, but why not run a compact fluorescent instead. These are very well made fixtures, heat should not be a problem either way.

My guess is they are not the best choice, they are not very flexible .They are really designed for flat surfaces. they did a GREAT job on my concrete countertops. Why not just use some steel wool ?

I've not done it, but I'm sure it would work. The Ditra material is mortared to the flooring, then mortar is applied over the top, in which the heat may would be embedded.

YES! I use these as my primary heat sourse. I live in Dallas so the winters aren't like up north. They do a good job. As a primary hear source I feel the need to air out my house on warm days as they burn room oxygen.

They are just fine at room temperature. I would only use a heater if the temperature dropped below 68.
1266859
Yes. It appears that's what they were designed for. You wouldn't want to install these in unheated space above the sheetrock.

I don't think so, but they come in different sizes. I put mine in concrete for the floor of a dog house to keep the dogs warm.

Sure - should not be a problem. Put in low enough to provide sufficient heat. A higher install expands the area but with less heat.Tommy

I know they would be bright enough. They lay against vinyl siding type of material in my setup and I've never seen any heat/burn marks. You should call Novelty for the best answer

I am quite sure that you can. I used one on the inside of the house & one on the inside of the garage. I used them that way because, I am going to remodel the kitchen & it was faster and warmer. It was January in Minnesota. Hope this was helpful, Terry S.

It would depend how rough the surface is. If it's not too rough, you'd be fine. If you're concerned, you could put something over them.
