The flooring in this Kirkland, WA house helps limit the mechanical heating/cooling required. This ... More house was also built with SIPs which also minimize mechanical heating and cooling.

The average flat concrete floor slab, he continues, is around 10 inches thick, whereas the RFS shells measure only 2½ to 3 inches (which, by chance, is just the right amount for thermal insulation).

In this episode we dig out the the ground floor and concrete it. This is to allow for insulation and underfloor heating to be installed which will all be filmed and captured for another exciting episo ...

No-fines concrete (NFC) is obtained by eliminating ... Among the main advantages of NFC is economy in materials, higher thermal insulating values, lower shrinkage, and lower unit weight and ...
