Factors such as temperature and humidity will affect both of these processes. In ideal conditions, the slab will harden sufficiently to allow ......
Using the thermal conductivities of the floor components we can calculate the depth of insulation required to achieve a specific U-value (what is a U-value), the Glapor insulation layer has excellent thermal performance with a thermal conductivity (lambda - λ) of 0.083 W/mK and the limecre......
