[QUOTE="barkeatr, post: 1837936, member: 12181"] [b]sideways[/b] frost wont travel sideways thats right but it will freeze the ground under the wall where the heat loss from the building is begins to run out..and that ends up being a 45 degree angle of frost under a building if there is no insulative wing and there is water there. Many uninsulated slabs work but water has to be removed from the equiation. YOu need to get rid of water or freezing to be frost free, most of us try to do both for redundancy. Low budgets may dictate less reduncancy... the edge of the slab is the most important because its subject to the coldest extremes..but in northern vermont...i would insulated under the whole slab for sure... barkeater [/QUOTE]
