[TheForge] Re: WAAAAAAAAY OT (while we're talking about buildings and heat)

[Justin Fellenz]

Another shop build question: does anyone in a colder climate have
experience with insulated concrete floors? I'm building my shop this
spring in Kamloops, BC, where it gets a little cold--not like Maine,
but cold. Someobody suggested I lay 2 1/2" of polystyrene hard foam
under the slab. It's about another 4000 CAD to do it...I'm wndering if
it's worth the money and whether it decreases the structural stability
of the slab.

Another person suggested radiant heat (insulation with or without).
That's about another 5k and if it breaks it would be a nightmare to
fix. But people say it's pretty cool to have nice warm floors. Thoughts
on that welcome as well.

Thanks,

JRF
