I am building myself a new home in the Hudson Valley of NY. The basement level will be the garage and storage, gym, future finished space.
I have heard of putting insulation under the slabs? WHat kind should I use? How does it keep from getting crushed to pieces if it is rigid foam? In the garage I am planning to put radiant--should I do anything different to insualte that? Any ideas/details are welcome?

Hi Pete,

Go over to my Building Science forum at the Journal of Light Construction Online and scoll the archives. You'll find plenty of information about these topics.

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!
