We installed radiant floor in our addition. This is the hot water system, not the electrical. We used the clips on the PEX, and then insulated it. There was no reflective material under the PEX. This was a 24' x 28' addition over the garage, so we were installing it in a wide open area. I can imagine it being a little difficult to install in a crawl space. The PEX is flexible, but it is still sort of rigid. It would be doable, but not sure I want to help. It all depends on how much room you have to work.
Boop There are several ways of doing it but the one I was thinking of uses clips on the under side of the floor in the joist bays into which the PEX is installed. I think they add some reflective material under that then insulate. The electrical systems are good too, relatively cheap to instal but expensive to operate particularly over a room of any size and you may need an electrical upgrade for a room larger than a bathroom. I also understand that there are issues with installing concrete over wood, the bond tends to break as the wood changes, there are ways around that with rubber membranes and such. If you already have a water heating system you may wish to look into the PEX system as you already have the heating plant. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
