The Challenge
From Firehouse to Urban Oasis
Nine-season HGTV favorite and host of The Build Up, Anthony Carrino has become famous for ambitious and tightly budgeted construction projects. His latest project for TheBuild.TV is no less demanding, conversion of Hook & Ladder Co. #3 firehouse into a stunning urban residence.
Turn of the Century Challenges Solved with Radiant Flooring
High ceilings, brick walls, early twentieth-century industrial construction, and multiple zones usually present significant remodeling challenges when it comes to comfort and budget. Anthony’s search for a solution ultimately resulted in the selection of Ecowarm RadiantBoard flooring for its day-to-day comfort, heating efficiency, zone control, and cost performance.
Factory Direct and “Paint-by-Number” Ease of Installation
From estimate to delivery, Anthony worked directly with Ecowarm staff. The firehouse site plans where used to develop a project estimate and panel-by-panel RadiantBoard floor plan (view floor plan). Ecowarm panels shipped factory direct to the job-site, complete with a room-by-room floor plan making for paint-by-number ease with an average per room installation of under an hour. Installation of all of the firehouse’s RadiantBoard flooring and PEX tubing required just a single day.
