In this episode of Ask This Old House, airing on Thursday April 11, on PBS, the experts tackle two home improvement projects: retrofitting a radiant floor system and installing cable railings.
For the radiant floor retrofit, the team will demonstrate how to add radiant floor heating to an existing home. This popular upgrade offers a comfortable and efficient way to heat a room, and the episode will cover the process step-by-step, including choosing the right system, preparing the floor, and installing the heating elements.
The cable railings segment will feature Tom Silva traveling to Utah to help a homeowner replace a traditional stair railing with a more modern cable railing. Tom will guide viewers through the process of removing the old railing, installing the new newel post and railing configuration, and adding the cable pickets and fasteners.
The episode will also include a segment on the updated USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, providing valuable information for gardeners and homeowners across the country.
Ask This Old House airs on PBS at 8:30 pm on Thursday, April 11, 2024.
