    We have this in our house (we have hydronic heating - long runs of PEX pipe in the floor with a concrete top). The concrete is batch mixed on site, sand and not gravel. It is pumped into the house. It is called self leveling concrete.

    You can see how runny it is. It dries very smooth, no bubbles, not a hot mix from what I understand, but I don't know much more about it.
