Should You Insulate Under Your Concrete Slab?
Concrete is known to absorb and store energy which is why many fireplaces have rock surrounding them. The fire heats up the rocks which then store that heat and continue to heat the room. The same happens with your concrete slab. Insulating around your concrete slab is an important part of the construction project, as it separates it from the ground and creates a passive energy source. Without insulation, the temperature of the area above the slab will always want to equalize with the temperature of the slab, which is affected by the temperature of the ground.

What Type of Insulation Should be Used for Under Concrete Insulation?
EPS and XPS foam boards were once the most commonly used material for under-concrete insulation services. Unfortunately, lining these boards together create joints which makes it challenging to get the perfect fit. Additionally, foam boards can even shift apart and crack on uneven surfaces. Instead, professionals are opting for closed-cell spray foam. Spray foam is becoming an increasingly popular choice for concrete slab insulation because it is able to mold to the surfaces around it. It goes on as a liquid which allows it to get into every nook and cranny and form a tight seal.
