Retrofit baseboard to a Slab House

[dalipaintedme]

Goodmorning.

I have a simple question that maybe someone can point me in the right direction to. I have a 1950 Slab house (levitt) that has origonal radiant heat that is leaving in numberous places. Every time we fix a leak a new one pops up. So to avoid ripping up more floor and slab we are going to replace the whole system with a continuous loop baseboard hydronic heating system.

The question lies in, can i run my loop around the ceiling rafters and dop down my copper to the inbetween the studs to teh bollom of the wall for my heat system. I am looking to avoid breaking up the slab to get across the house. and was hoping that to go through doorways that i could just go over and aroud them.

Does this seem perissable?

The terms you use would suggest you have underfloor heating that is leaking and you wish to fit wall panels (radiators) and drop copper lines from the loft.

If the installation was this side of the pond, one would disconnect underfloor manifold, reroute to feed the panel radiators, job done
