In-floor Radiant Heating

[Don]

Hi Paul,

I had a client with infloor radiant heating where the piano went thru
"wide" pitch changes. There appeared to be no long term damage (i.e. cracks
to the sound board). 

If they wish to protect the piano and the heating coils are already in
place a 6 inch "riser" with open sides will help. Have them put refective
foil on the underside and "vents" if they decide to "box it in". As a side
benefit the piano will possibly sound better as well--isolating it from
concrete flooring does make a difference.

A full DC system with covers top and bottom is always a good idea, but
don't expect it to "take the heat" from radiant floor systems.
