Where a regularly used concrete floor is to be poured on grade
or in a basement use PlastiSpan® insulation board
installed in adequate thickness under the floor before pouring.
A vapour barrier should be placed between the insulation layer
and the underside of the concrete slab. The floor surface will
be noticeably warmer to anyone standing on the floor.
Place PlastiSpan insulation boards above concrete slab-on-grade
to make the floor surface temperature noticeably warmer.
PlastiSpan insulation boards of adequate thickness placed
above the floor slab and on the interior surface of the foundation
wall will raise the surface temperature to within 3°C
(5°F) of the room temperature under normal conditions.
This system uses wood nailers with insulation
boards between them and a panel overlay which serves as the
base for flooring.
