Related QuestionsWhat does Radintec think about thin foil type bubble insulation?
Radiantec : FAQ Frequently Asked Questions, Radiant Heat, Sy...It is our opinion that this material is overrated, underperforming, and too expensive. There is no technical basis to claim an r-value more than 3 ½ per inch. Radiantec products are compatible with these products, but Radiantec does not sell this special type of subflooring material. It is quite expensive. This subfloor heating method will put out more heat, but if the area does not need the extra heat, then the money is not well spent. It will not be more energy efficient.

Related QuestionsFAQ - Sleeping Bags N MoreDown is the wispy, fluffy undercoating found just beneath the outer feathers of geese and ducks. This natural fiber is an extraordinary insulator. Goose down is preferred to down from ducks, prized because it is believed its plumes offer a higher "fillpower" (explained below). Down is graded according to fill power-meaning the number of cubic inches one ounce of down will displace. The higher the number, the better the insulation.Related Questions

What about insulation underneath the topping slab?
Radiantec : FAQ Frequently Asked Questions, Radiant Heat, Sy...You must not compromise structural integrity for insulation. Insulation has very little weight bearing strength. A topping slab over extruded polystyrene is satisfactory only for light residential loads. If you cannot insulate underneath the slab, then you should insulate well at the perimeter where most heat loss occurs. An uninsulated slab may not be as responsive as one with insulation, but the overall heat loss could be acceptable.
