    Could you define...

    hydronic...fhw baseboard is a form of hydronics...you can pretty much do whatever as far as zoning...do the heat loss for eash room/floor and you should be fine...kpc

    \"hydronics\"

    That's the beauty of hydronic heating. Sized right and installed properly, you can mix and match any of the many varieties of "hydronic" heating.

    Mix and Match

    Sure, you can mix and match hydronic delivery types. Baseboard, in slab, sandwich, engineered board, ceiling systems, staple up, etc.

    One concern would be the water temperature requirements for the type of delivery method. For example, depending on the heat load of each of the zones, to have a 110 deg requirement for the tube in slab, and 180 deg for the baseboard. Decide what's the best for your lifestyle, most efficient and most economical.
