We have a 10 x 16 family room with three exterior walls, It is on the main floor of a bungalow and dropped 12 inches from rest of house. The basement ceiling below is finished and wish to not disturb that drywall, I therefore propose to run PEX above the 3/4 inch plywood subfloor on 12 inch intervals, fill in between the loops with plywood strips and install 11 mil laminate flooring over this. As the PEX is above the subfloor will I require the ratiation strips? Water heat by a combination water heater (natural gas) heat and potable water. Is someone in a position to give me advise on the project, please. Tx. jesse
