[GBlist] Re: Big Green: Radiant Floor Heating



This from a client of ours:
 
"The radiant installer is very interested and intrigued to know why we're not putting down a vapor barrier. I told him that I thought it had to do with the proper drying of the concrete. He felt that by putting the TekFoil or some radiant layer under the cement or 2" blue board would be cost effective.

Should the blue board seams be taped?"
 
Questions for the group are:
 
Why no poly under the insulated slab ??
Is TekFoil (foil faced bubble insulation) cost-effective ??
 
Thanks
