Title: Concrete Slab Insulation
Post by: Eric V on September 07, 2008, 09:40:10 AM
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).
