Re: Can a Slab Foundation be Insulated Without Rigid Foam?

kipperdude1, I am planning a small workshop here in Indiana and have been researching ways to insulate the floor. What you have described is intriguing. If I have a 20' by 20' floor would I lay 400 sqft of foam and then angle down from the outside edges to get below the frost line? Why did you choose a 45 degree angle instead of straight down? Thanks!
