My house sits on a concrete slab embedded in a bedrock ridge, and has an open floor plan on ground floor (which is approx 1350 sq'.) It is soooo cooold for much of the year, even with 6 mini-splits (2 of them on ground floor), one wood stove and a fireplace, 18 solar panels and a Tesla battery. Also heated rug pads which are too inefficient/costly to use often. Current floor covering is aging bamboo laminate.
I looked into thermal flooriing (electrical), but most of the heat would just drain into the concrete, so not at all cost-efficient. I may want to convert my fireplace (opposite end of the house from the existing wood stove) to a second wood stove. But in a perfect world, I could cover the entire floor with rugs (preferably not permanently installed carpeting) that could be removed in the warm weather, when the cooling effect is welcome.
Where might I find custom-cut rugs that are about 1 cm (.4" thick), stitch rate 1/10, density maybe 200-300? Is this just a pipe dream? |
