when to put down the moisture barrier?
Radiant heat shop floor:
Top soil has been removed
very hard base ground (use a breaking bar to be able to dig in it)
3-7" of 3/4" crush gravel
moisture barrier HERE?
2" polystyryene extruded foam insulation
moisture barrier HERE?
concrete reinforcement mesh
1/2" pex heat tubing
4" concrete with plasticizers and fiber reinforcement
Everyone in the businss has a different opinion if it's below the foam
or on the foam.
Concrete engineer says on the foam
radiant installer says below the foam.

Well now, all these posts really cleared things up, eh Allan?!!
Gotta go with the guy doing the heating install, his product.
