Help With A Sub-floor
i am installing a radiant heating system on the top of a sub floor! the constuction includes insolation(1/2 inch) on the concrete slab, then a free floating tongue and groove decking( 3/4). my questions is what do i do about where the subfloor plywood meets the exterior metal door and jam area?
on top of the decking is the heating element, carpet pad and carpet. any advise would be great, thanks--matt-- |

Re: Help With A Sub-floor
If you are a radiant heating tradesman like you claim to be, wouldn't it be me asking you that question?

Re: Help With A Sub-floor
Two options.
1. Shim the whole house up and inch. 2. Grind the whole slab down an inch. Houses are heavy.
