We have a 10 x 16 family room with three exterior walls, It is on the
main floor of a bungalow and dropped 12 inches from rest of house. The
basement ceiling below is finished and wish to not disturb that
drywall, I therefore propose to run PEX above the 3/4 inch plywood
subfloor on 12 inch intervals, fill in between the loops with plywood
strips and install 11 mil laminate flooring over this. As the PEX is
above the subfloor will I require the ratiation strips? Water heat by
a combination water heater (natural gas) heat and potable water. Is
someone in a position to give me advise on the project, please. Tx.
