I have used this system for a new construction project with excellent results, I believe they originally marketed for "retrofits"

    Another option

    3/8" "The Barrier" insulation (www.thebarrier.com)or 1/4" Microfoil (www.microfoil.com) (You should have a thermal break) + 5/8" Rahau Raupanel system (More BTU/sf than Quick trac) + 3/4" hardwood = 1-5/8" - 1-3/8" depending on insulation product.
