I am considering the installation a of hydronic heating system, using a thin (1.5 ins) slab of concrete over a floor with 5/8ths plywood glued and screwed to TGI joists, 16 ins on center. What techniques should be observed, and is there a specific concrete mix which should be used for this type of application?
