I hope you insulated the perimeter of the slab vertically down at least 2ft. If not, you are just transferring heat into the ground outside. What size tubing did you use ??? should be at least 7/8" for a slab that size and that spacing. It is near imposable to transfer a lot of BTUs through smaller 1/2" pipe, especially the footage you are using. If it is 1/2" tubing there is very little heat transfer at the end of the system loop, unless you have several loops with pumps on each. Recovery time is much longer, but will eventually get to the temp you want. When we were building commercial buildings we had "Radiant Tech" in Vermont design, spec, and supply all our materials. never had a complaint with heating big shops. Once you have the ceiling and interior walls in with proper insulation, you will notice a big difference. Radiant heat doesn't rise to the ceiling like conventional heating systems. It stays in the lower zone close to the floor, up to about 8-9' high. No need to install ceiling fans with radiant floor heat. Loren
