Thanks Nick.

ps. We put insulation around the outer foundation perimeter and down 18"
below grade. That plus getting some of that stubborn air out of the pex
tubing... and wala... the floor is cookin' !!

Granted this is not the optimum application for this technology.

Indeed. Is it April 1 already? :-)

...In this particular application the SUNSHIELD 2000 is completely buried
in concrete and consequently only 2 of the 4 ceramics will come into
play.
The 2 reflective ceramics are ineffective in this type of application
because the coating is facing direct contact, low temperature, front side
conduction. This will reduce the R value equivalency to approximately
R10.
Additional R value equivalency can be achieved by adding more thickness.

As I recall, soil has a thermal resistance of about R10, so
it looks like your 14 mils of miracle stuff adds about R0.0,
as anyone knowing some physics might expect from its thickness.
You seem extremely confused, if not a serious crook, exceeding
HVAC criminal standards by a very large margin.

Best regards,

Nick
