Plan for heated slab


It's almost time to pour the heated slab. Here's a footprint of the preparations for the slab. A previous post gives a nice overview of the foundation footprint.

Features include:
  • A 4' perimeter of 2'' Styrofoam SM around the outside walls (light blue)
  • A pantry area and storage area under the stairs which is to be unheated (dark blue)
  • Manifold box (dark red)
Installation will include
  • Compacted 1/2'' clear stone to fill the foundation
  • 6 mm or thicker polyethylene vapor barrier
  • 2'' Styrofoam SM
  • Rebar grid to reinforce concrete and hold tubing in place
  • 3 closed loop Pex tubing tied to rebar with plastic ties and attached to slab manifold
  • 4'' poured concrete slab
