This type of installation is best suited for slab
buildings such as ranch homes, condominiums, nursing
homes, factories and shopping centers. Other
structures with high ceilings such as churches,
auditoriums and aircraft hangers are also ideally
suited.
The recommended installation procedure:
-
Place sand on top of soil
-
Install perimeter
insulation
on top of sand
-
Place flat
wire mesh
-
Layout
tubing according to design
-
Tie tubing to
wire mesh with
tubing ties
-
Terminate tubing in
PVC Elbows
where ever tubing exits the concrete
-
Pouring
4" of concrete over mesh and tubing
is recommended
(observe structural and code requirement for
slab thickness)
-
Lift
wire mesh to the center of the concrete pour
Any floor covering can be used as desired, however, the best performance can be
achieved with concrete tile, vinyl, and carpet respectively.
