My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Heating and cooling a barn venue

13 years ago
We are building a 2400 sq. foot barn to be used as a venue for weddings, corp. events, church events, etc. We would like some ideas or products that will move the most air with the least noise. Also, we have thought about using the patio upright type propane heaters for heating. Please give me ideas or products that you have seen successful.

    Underfloor heating would probably be the least intrusive and would have no noise issues at all. Also, since the heat comes from below, you would not need fans (which would create more noise issues) to move the hot arm down. This is especially important with high ceiling spaces. Good luck!!
