  • rFoil 4' x 125' Concrete Barrier Foil

    Q:

    I built a 14ft.x 20ft. Conservatory 15 years ago. I was originally going to heat it with a cast iron hot water radiator. I poured a 4" concrete slab on bedrock floor, which I intend to finish with hex tiles.
    I have 1 3/4" from the top of the concrete slab to join the floor in the rest of the house. I would like to now use pex in floor radiant. Is there a reflective foil that my be glued to the concrete floor, upon
    which, the pex may be installed with 1 1/2" of new concrete and then tiled? How much heat would
    I lose if don't put any type of insulation or reflective barrier under the pex tubing? I have concerns
    about this product compressing and I really want something thinner. Thank you

      A:

      The fact that you have an existing slab makes insulation less of a necessity. The existing slab will hold much of the heat. We still recommend putting some kind of barrier down.

    Q:

    In your opinion is any other form of insulation needed in a slab installation in western PA other than say 2" of perimeter insulation.

      In my opinion no other insulation is required, however you really need to check with your local building department to see what the local code requirements are.

      A:

      It is always a good idea to insulate below the tubing throughout the slab. Heat can be lost not only through the perimeter of the house, but also straight down.

      There is no reason you couldn't use Concrete Barrier Foil as you described, however you need to check with your local building department to see if this meets local code requirements.

    Q:

    I also would like to use this product on top of a wood subfloor then pour concrete on top. Questions: what's the minimum thickness of the concrete and how deep in the concrete should the pex tubing be?
