Hello.
We are getting a floor slab with an 80cm frost skirt. This is probably done this way in almost every construction. If I understand correctly, the skirt prevents water from getting under the slab and then freezing. Floor slab not insulated.
The water pipes are laid on top of the floor slab (insulated) and do not freeze and break. What happens if the pipes are embedded in the concrete, with insulation. Would the pipes freeze and break in this case?
It’s not about whether it makes sense to lay the pipes there, just the question above.
Thank you.
