Has anyone had any experience with blue jean insulation under radiant? Do you find that the water temperatures are higher or lower then fiberglass? I know spray foam is the best but where does blue jean insulation fall? worse or better then fiberglass?

    No noticeable difference

    I had one job with blue jean insulation, with above sub floor panels and tubing. Rated r-value seems on par with fiberglass.Mice like 'em too.

    Dense pack insulation

    Blue jean insulation is considered a good candidate for dense pack insulation, and actually has a higher R value per inch than fiberglass insulation.
