we do similar job almost every site in S.Korea, since slab heat on the slab or subfloor is basic heating way in here , which is called 'on-dol'. if radiation pipes set on that foam, the heat only goes for the living space, not warming the subfloor or slab. you can add fasteners to make sure the foam won't detached on the floor. Thank you for the hepful videos, I always enjoy watching them.

Why not insulate under the slab on grade (instead of on top) - and get benefit of thermal mass?
@L0n3W0lfBl4ck4 ай бұрын
Agreed. If this is a major remodel and that’s an existing concrete floor but other than that I’d think under would be better. Would be quieter with the slab top insulation though, and be less thermo mass for the hvac to work with. Just throwing ideas out there.
@jamesshannon884 ай бұрын
@librogrande The goal is to insulate against thermal gain of solar on the concrete-in Texas we aren’t trying to insulate against the ground as much as the heat sink that the slab becomes when the sun beats down on it
@benfowler21274 ай бұрын
The other benefit is that even though the floor is stiff, it does have SOME cushion, which makes the assembly easier on your joints in the long run vs walking on flooring that is directly on concrete.

On this house, there was a previous slab they went over top of. So he couldn't go under.
@markstipulkoski13894 ай бұрын
The vast majority of your slab and rhe earth beneath it is shaded by the house. In a hot climate like Texas and Florida where 90% of the time you are cooling, being coupled to the cooler soil is an energy saver. Insulating the perimeter of the slab from the surrounding "hot" soil might make some sense if you're fanatical about it. Insulated slabs in cooler climates make sense.

Wow. I help a friend of mine who owns a flooring company. I don't think he watches your channel. I'm a learning builder and have gotten a lot of information and even been able to practice. Homestead life. This is the best flooring system ever. Wow. Talk about belt and suspenders. I was wondering how you would install hardwood flooring because of those big staples. Two sheets of plywood over the foamboard will do work. I have a large shed. I turned part of it into my outdoor office/ mancave. I had some 3/4in hickory that I installed in there. That's coming up. I'm gonna insulate the floor now. I got the walls and ceiling done with 2.5in polyiso and there was an instant difference. Great job. Great thought. Great material. Great video. You guys are on it.

Since all those layers of insulation and subfloor make up a couple inches, does the interior wall framing, or door openings, etc. need to be installed differently (spaced up)?

Same Question - what about all of the interior to exterior door openings?? (1.5" foam + 1.5" ply + 3/4" floor)=3.75". How are you dealing with the exterior to interior openings? Ideally, we're as flush as possible, no??

If you lived in an area with potential to flood do to hurricanes. Would you still recommend this type of flooding?
@atomicsmith4 ай бұрын
It’s better to not build in a flood prone area.
@bobbray96664 ай бұрын
Building in a flood prone area causes insurance rates to go up for everyone. Insurance companies should not spread this cost out. Owners of homes that flood periodically should take the full brunt of the costs based on their risk factors. That would prevent building in high risk areas if rates are 10X more than a non-flood prone area. Where I live, there is almost zero chance of flooding from overflowing bodies of water. Tornadoes are weak and infrequent and no risk of wildfires, yet our rates keep going up based on high risk areas being slammed by storms and rising sea levels, which are going to get worse over time and more expensive.

No one is commenting the potential vapor issues? R10 isn't that high, and it's safe bet that slab will be colder than the inside of the house by a fair enough amount that the dew point will be on the slab itself...then where does all the moisture go? NONE of those insulation seams are taped, so there WILL BE vapor condensing between that rigid foam and the slab. Would love to see that floor torn up in 10 years and see what's growing under there.

Two layers of subflooring just seems redundant. Particularly with that insulation board. I wonder sometimes if we all aren't just adding more parts than we need. I mean it wasn't too long ago people were getting crazy complicated with their rainscreens and now it's mostly all boiled down to a pliable open weave rainscreen material with an 1/8" to 1/4" air gap etc.

slap+foam+two staggered layers of the subfloor are necessary to prevent defection and movement. Otherwise, all flooring or tiles will move/deform/crack over time bc of too much movement.
@speciesofspaces4 ай бұрын
@@thomascho3318 not seen that in my case and if the floating floor is done right it has plenty of room to move all along the perimeter, plus, these days many floating floors are so highly laminated with resins the movement is very small. It's not like one is accounting for solid hardwood wood movement in these products.

techincally it's not that much overkill. The only overkill would be one additional Advantech. It could be replaced with a standard OSB subfloor.
