Foam Board Installation

On Monday and Tuesday, April 21st and 22nd, we began the task (under the assumption that our basement was being poured on Friday April 25th . . . this had since been moved to Tuesday, April 29th due to potential rain) of leveling the earth floor in the basement to prepare for the radiant floor underlayment. Ade went through a process of using a large landscape rake, 2X4 and a level to even out all areas of the basement based on the level of the house and jackpost footings. After the leveling was complete, we covered the floor with a 6 mil visqueen vapor barrier, and started piecing together (like a giant 1300 square foot puzzle) the 2" thick "Foamular" foam board to cover the entire area (except over the top of the 6 jackpost footings). The so called "extruded polystyrene" foam boards themselves will lend an R-10 value to the floor.
