to keep ice from forming. Generally you don't design to heat the space, just keep the slab ice free and safe to walk on. Without knowing how many loops and the area square footage, hard to answer your question.

Will it work! Quite possible. Is it a professional install? Debateable from what you indicate.

    Will it work?

    OK I will try to get pics soon. Here's the skinny. Car wash snow melt. 180 FT loops on 6"-18" centers( no real pattern on spacing). 5" slab big drain in the middle 3X4 with no extra tubing around it all on pea gravel W/O insulation. close to the walls is single 10" spacing right close to the hoses where they drip. Design temp is 0 plus wind. This job was bid by us then was given to the lowest bid. All I can say is you get what you pay for.If I forgot anything let me know and I might be able to tell you.

    Striping...

    Hydronics, including the sub category of snowmelt systems is EXTREMELY forgiving to ignorance...

    At least they have THAT going for them.
