Hi,
Probably not explaining this well, but the slab depth will be 6" and a thermal break will exist at all the perimeter walls as well as underneath the slab. Underneath the slab is 2" foam board for 4ft then the remaining interior is finished off with 1" foam board so that the entire floor is covered with insulation.
So here is the question
My concrete guys just put up the vertical thermal break at the 6" slab depth, but in parts are not touching the floor of the base with it, they stuck it to the walls with some type of foam adhesive. In some places there are gaps for the 6x6 mesh grid, but shouldn't it be all the way down resting on the other insulation as to not have any part of the 6" slab touch the footer walls?
Is there a need for the slab to key into the footer walls for this tiny amount or are they just being lazy at my heating expense?
