I have a ranch that was built in 1956 with radiant heat in the ceiling and I would like to move it in to the floor and was considering using Gypcrete. the original set of prints called for 3×12 floor joists at a span of 22-1/2 feet over the largest portion of the house. the rest of the house has 2×12 floor joists with the span of 16 feet. Will this take the weight of the Gypcrete? I can’t do an under floor installation since the basement has a finished plaster ceiling? Gypcrete seems like a nice solution since I have some uneven floors. Thought about “warm board” but appears to be very expensive. Any suggestions are welcome.
