How will BIBS interact with hydronic heating tubing?

To comment on this posting CLICK HERE.   Do not reply to this email.

The Blow-In-Blanket Insulation System (BIBS) will work well under your hydronic heating tubing, but to get the maximum efficiency from the under floor insulation you will need to install a foil or aluminized paper facing directly under the heating piping.  BIBS is an excellent thermal barrier, but the foil will provide a better reflective layer than the fiberglass alone can provide. Several companies make foil-faced paper just for the system you described. Check with a Blow-In-Blanket contractor in your area , or the plumber installing the system.

i know you do not want to blow the insulation tight around the piping you will have to make an air space with a ridged material before blowing. If insulation gets around pipes it will stop the heat from going up through the floor like it is intended to do.
