  • @josephmerritt1411
    @josephmerritt1411 Před rokem +1

    In the video, the insulation was put on top of the vapor barrier. I was told that's not correct. The process steps involve compacted dirt, then 3/4 stone compacted, then insulation, then 6-10 mil vapor barrier, and then concrete (with fiberglass or metal wire). You want the weight of the concrete pushing down on the vapor barrier holding the insulation in place. With your method, there is the risk that some insulation could rise up through the concrete.

  • @JamesSchenck
    @JamesSchenck Před 11 lety

    Indeed. Foil reflects radiant heat but does nothing to slow conductive heat transfer. It is simply amazing how many slabs still get poured on bubble foil. If you can't insulate the slab properly then don't put heat into it!

    • @KenPaulsenArchitect
      @KenPaulsenArchitect Před 8 lety +3

      +Joshua Dyck Foamular rigid insulation has high compressive strengths - available in 40, 60 and 100psi sheets. By installing a concrete slab over this insulation, you further spread out concentrated loads (such as the feet on a refrigerator or bed) and so there's no deformation.

    Foil bubble insulation is useless. The only thing that insulates is insulation. I promise. As a home builder in MN for over a decade, I have decommissioned in-floor heating systems 10 times. The heating cost was many times what was projected. They all had either no insulation or that damn double bubble foil stuff. We retrofitted baseboard heaters and cut their heating bill by more than half. The ground is an infinite heat sink. Put as much rigid foam in as you can afford. Good Luck.

    • @joshuadavid2259

    • @charlieroark5510
      @charlieroark5510 Před 2 lety

      100% Wong. The ground is not an "infinite heat sink". And a properly designed slab heat, will allow you to run a very low temperature water, reducing heating costs by a significant amount. As for insulation under the slab, it's simple not needed. As long as the perimeter is insulated below the frost line, the ground will not remove heat, only store heat. It's in every load calc software and formula created! It's physics and proven. I do hvacr design and build for a living, for nearly 40yrs. Yes, foil bubble is useless, and 25psi or greater rigid foam is the best way to go, but ONLY for the perimeter.

    • @augustreil

      Nope, you need to stop the moisture as close to the bottom as possible, in this case was sand or compacted crushed stone.

    • @Joshua79C
      @Joshua79C Před 6 lety

      Those that do the vapor barrier over the insulation ARE asking for trouble and added costs down the road when the foam starts to deteriorate and floor starts to show signs of failure.

  • @markkennedy5170

    So are these guys showing how best to have wet insulation? Vapor barriers always go over foam and under concrete. well, apparently not always.

    • @marko6394
      @marko6394 Před 7 lety

      Wouldn't you want the vapor barrier under the foam to prevent ground water from contacting the foam, or is it more for water vapor condensing between a cold surface and a warm one? Vapor barrier for walls typically faces inward, so following that logic, it makes sense to have the barrier on top of the foam, like you said. Can you elaborate?

    • @marko6394
      @marko6394 Před 7 lety

      If you tape the seams of the foam board and place a barrier over top, won't the tape deteriorate over time due to ground moisture? Or is this a non-issue?

    • @augustreil
      @augustreil Před 6 lety +3

      Mark, They 100% did it the right way. By doing it your way, the moisture could get up and into the foam. The vapor barrier being against the sand, etc first will stop it.

      XPS or Extruded Polystyrene, not the same as EPS or Expanded polystyrene which offer a much better insulation value and bond to concrete and less costly than XPS with its lower R or U insulation value.

      the plastic is a moisture barrier and goes over the aggregate base layer to protect the foam and then the concrete slab.goes over it, the foam is more than plenty strong at minimum 40 psi compressive resistance.

      On walls the vapor barrier goes on the inside, tyvek or similar brand breathable water repelling barrier is placed on the outside of the exterior wall. and despite what folks like you think the vapor barrier on a slab on ground goes under the insulation as shown as the foam is not entirely mold or water resistant. Every time I see someone showing themselves installing as said with folks like you also assume are just asking for water and foundation issues.
