    Thanks for your feedback. Would it be safe to say that a top coat would be the way to go if you use flakes?

    Xps board for under concrete slab

    As mentioned above you will be putting cement on foam board. Unless I am missing some thing the cement will be on the foam then the wire and the pex. Is this not correct?
