in THE MAIN WALL
would you use for Bubble/Foil/Bubble installed under slab?I need to do a heat loss on the basement and garage for a NEW client. He installed his own Radiant system in the basement and garage...I need to see if it can be salvaged. With "EXPERT Advise" he installed B/F/B under the slab WITH OUT any type of edge insulation!! The PEX was held away from the walls enough for him to cut the slab and install 2" rigid pink foam.

Thanks

Bergy

    Hey Bergy, Hows it goin buddy?! I thought you were smarter than that, using bubble wrap for insulation!!! I know, I know, you SAY you didn't do it! Ha! ;)

    Anyway my friend you can use R-2.3. This number comes from "The New Hydronics". They reported the results of real world tests in their November 2004 issue, Volume 3, Issue 6.

    Take care my friend, Rich L
