[VAC] Re: More frame off stuff



Some other stuff I found and thought of related to plastic Composites as floor
materials:

This is a bit on the heavy duty side, but explains my earlier point about
plastics as an option

The layered or sandwiched construction ideas brought forward intrigue me a bit
also, what about building your own composite flooring and also incorporating in
floor (panel) hydronic heating or maybe even an electric element. Although the
hydronic would lend itself to heating with just about any energy source. I would
imagine that the pipe diameter could be made to work in fairly small sizes
considering the size of an A/S, say 1/2", these could be plastic or copper I
suppose. But this could fill the dead space between the two structural surfaces
and make it not so dead. This approach might be worth the extra thickness.

Just some more ridiculous thoughts.
