    Radiant Floors

    I am a heating contractor installing a radiant floor system. My finished floor will be wood. We poured gyp-crete with 1 1/2" nailing strips two months ago. The a/c's have been running the entire two months. Is it safe to start installing my wood floors without firing up the boilers? Any input appreciated ASAP.

    A lot of our guys tape a sheet of clear plastic on the floor, sealing around the edges w/tape. Moniter for a couple of days & look for moisture under the plastic. If no moisture appears you're probably golden.
