Hey guys
I am currently finishing my basement. Considering I barely knew what a hammer was before I started, I have come a long way. Insulated,, framed, wired, plastered and painted.
I am in the process of putting down ceramic on the floor where my wood stove will be.
Here's my question: can I install the ceramic directly onto the concrete floor? That is what the local flooring store in town told me as did the local hardware store (although I am a bit cautious with this advice).
I am concerned it won't be an R value of 1.0 as indicated in my owners manual for my Osburn 2300. Will it make a difference? Should I put something under the ceramic? Or can I lay the ceramic directly on the concrete?
My concrete floor is completely cured, it's 4 feet below ground level.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Andrew
