Under concrete insulating system

Abstract

An insulating system for use under one of concrete floors with radiant heating and concrete slabs. The insulating system comprises at least one layer of polyethylene and an aluminum foil layer bonded to at least one side of the at least one layer of polyethylene. Such insulating system further includes a foam insulating layer engageable with the aluminum foil layer that is bonded to the at least one layer of polyethylene.

       8 . The insulating system, according to  claim 7 , wherein said tape is white polyethylene.  
   
   
       9 . The insulating system, according to  claim 1 , wherein such one of concrete floors with radiant heating and concrete slabs are poured on top of said at least one layer of polyethylene bubble-pack bonded to said foam insulation.  
   
   
       10 . The insulating system, according to  claim 1 , wherein said aluminum foil layer bonded to said at least one layer of polyethylene bubble-pack is bonded to both sides of said foam insulation.  
   
   
       11 . The insulating system, according to  claim 10 , wherein said insulating system from a bottom to a top of said insulating system would be said polyethylene bubble-pack, said aluminum foil layer, said foam insulating layer, said aluminum foil layer and said polyethylene bubble-pack.  
   
   
       12 . The insulating system, according to  claim 11 , wherein said aluminum foil layer of said at least one layer of polyethylene bubble-pack is bonded to said both sides of said foam insulating layer by means of an adhesive.  
   
   
       13 . The insulating system, according to  claim 3 , wherein said at least one layer of polyethylene bubble-pack with said aluminum foil layer bonded thereto is bonded to a lower side of said foam insulating layer with said foil side of said at least one layer of polyethylene bubble-pack bonded to said lower side of said foam insulating layer.  
   
   
       14 . The insulating system, according to  claim 13 , wherein said aluminum foil side of said at least one layer of polyethylene bubble-pack is bonded to said lower side of said foam insulating layer by means of an adhesive.  
   
   
       15 . The insulating system, according to  claim 14 , wherein said insulating system would be from a bottom to a top of said insulating system polyethylene bubble-pack, said aluminum foil layer and said foam insulating layer.  
   
   
       16 . An insulating system for use under one of concrete floors with radiant heating and concrete slabs, said insulating system comprising: 
 (a) a foam insulating layer; and    (b) at least one layer of polyethylene having at least one layer of aluminum foil bonded thereto, said layer of aluminum foil engageable with at least one surface of said foam insulating layer.    
   
   
       17 . The insulating system, according to  claim 16 , wherein said at least one layer of polyethylene is a polyethylene bubble-pack.  
   
   
       18 . An insulating system for use under one of concrete floors with radiant heating and concrete slabs, said insulating system comprising:
