about Radiant heat on an existing slab.
A "dry" installation involves
installing the hydronic and electric radiant heating systems under the
sub floor between the joists or over the sub floor between two layers of
plywood. A 2-inch (50-mm) minimum air gap is required. Reflective
insulation should be installed under the heating product to direct the
heat upward.
Self-regulating elements can be sandwiched between the insulation and
the floor covering. Definitely avoid air gaps. Where reflective foil is
used, place the aluminum side away from the heating elements
