I will be installing warmfloor over a large area in a basement (wetbar, entertainment area, bathroom).

What do you recommend for insulation between the heating elements and the concrete slab? 

I prefer something thin (1/4"), available, and economical.

The heating elements will either be covered by ceramic or slate tiles. 

Are there any advantages/disadvantages to either slate or ceramic tile when used with Step Warmfloor?

We recommend either a cork underlayment or Wedi Board (www.wedi.de/usa).

Studies from the "Sick Building Syndrome" show a direct relation between indoor climate and symptoms such as fatigue and headaches.  Research shows that thermic indoor climate is also related to productivity.  The level of comfort with radiant heat at lower temperatures increases productivity by 20-30%.
