What low-r value and thin tile decoupling membranes/products do you recommend over hydronic radiant that is within a concrete over pour? The thinner the better, and fully moisture tolerant is desired.

Schluter Ditra - 1/8”0

We had porcelain tile installed about six years ago in our new addition. I installed the radiant tubing in the slab and was concerned the Schluter Ditra would negatively effect the heat output. Honestly, I doubt it reduces the output enough to notice. Radiant performs fantastic. By the way, decoupling was considered cutting edge here in NJ at the time.

R value should be practically nothing given the majority of the Ditra surface area are voids filled with thinset.0
