Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Poured gypsum underlayments are commonly used for thin-slab radiant floor heating systems. They provide a smooth and level surface for the tubing to be installed on top of, as well as providing thermal conductivity to improve the efficiency of the radiant heat system. While they can be used in slab-on-grade and concrete slab installations, they are best suited for thin-slab systems. Suspended floors may require additional considerations for weight load and structural support.
