These little boxes use a lot less energy since the only make hot water as you need it. They are also often very small, a box about a foot square in the front and about 4 inches deep.<BR/><BR/>The down side is these are often more expensive, and when they are working, they need a lot of energy in a short period of time. It shouldn't be much of an issue, but make sure the installer knows what s/he is doing. Look for a version ment for a camper/mobile home as these tend to be sturdier, smaller and cheaper.<BR/><BR/>As for the loft, you can use laminate flooring which goes on easily, and looks good. Don't get the cheapest stuff you can find, as they often don't fit together well and will cause chipped edges between pieces. <BR/><BR/>You might want to also look into unfinished hardwood flooring. If you do it yourself, it's as cheap as any other technique (~$1 per sq foot), but can take some time to install AND may require a special tool called a floor nailer. Feel free to leave it raw for something as light as a loft, or you can always apply polyurethane to make it last forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
