   For the same thickness you’ll get more insulation from foam sheet covered with plywood.

   I loathe Dricore. I hate the way that their marketing promotes the idea that there is a benefit to an air channel under the floor because it promotes drying into the interior. You don’t want drying into the interior. To the extent there is moisture in the concrete you want it staying in the concrete.

   Thanks. Can you give me some more detail on the foam sheet and plywood? I don’t want it to be more than 1″ thick.
