Easy way to insulate your concrete floor..Sing Honeycomb Panels

[amusingisthedawn]

it's kinda silly to lay down those strips of wood and drill into the floor like that. if you are that hardcore about insulating the floor - use 1" XPS and tuck tape the whole thing. ...even with that though, I would never put down a plywood subfloor in a basement, even with 6mm poly under it.

You ask WHY, to keep mold out of your home! Concrete evaporates lots of water each day, so you need to balance the temperature of the air that meets the concrete. They should have put a 6mil vapor barrier down first thing.

So that's the plywood sub-floor installed, do we get to see the finished floor covering being laid?

what kind of floor was that? it looked very thick and insulated too. I thought you were supposed to put 3/4inches boards.

Why would you try to heat the earth??? :)

Ground temperature is normally about 55 degrees. If you want your house up around 70, that means you can dump an infinite amount of energy trying to heat the earth up to 70 degrees, unless you throw a couple of inches of insulation under your concrete.

@voronwae In warm climates, it would be the opposite. In cold climates, putting that money into ceiling insulation will pay back better. Carpet and pad do provide an insulative value you know. The only place this system would make sense is Minnesota and north.

Very Nice Demo-

can you show examples of finished work where the new floor system rises a step above the existing floor
