Concrete floors with radiant heating can be finished in many creative ways. Besides the traditional tile or hardwood, an acid stain finish can be applied to the concrete itself, as is shown in this photo of the floor in the Westview, which we designed and built in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan in 2005.

If you are renovating and infloor heating is not a convenient option, then a fan coil unit may do the job. This is a small radiator with a fan on it, which can be mounted on the wall as shown below, behind a cabinet kickplate as shown on the right, or under the floor so that all you see is the radiator cover, similar to normal register covers, which circulates the air in the room, as shown below right.
