Dow under slab insulation.

Thermosetting resins from dow can be used as an alternative to traditional formaldehyde based resins for binding mineral fibers in the production of insulation blanket products that go into building insulation systems and specialty insulation. Slabs that include embedded hydronic tubing for radiant heat always need a continuous layer of horizontal insulation under the entire slab. The best way to insulate under a slab on grade concrete foundation is with eps rigid foam insulation. Get all the construction documentation you ll need in a single click.
