Hello,
I'm considering which path to take now that I'm going to install water-borne underfloor heating in the hallway and then lay tiles.
Not interested in filling up with EPS as I want fairly easy access to the space where the pipes run if it starts to leak.
The floor is on the entrance level above a heated basement, concrete joists. In the picture, you can see they built with embedded wooden beams (built in '69). Because we've returned from being away in the summer to a bit of an odor, we've now removed everything and cleared down to the concrete.
Should I seal the concrete with some primer or is it enough to empty it?
.
Now to the main question:
Which method would you choose and why from concrete joists to the surface that will be tiled?
Please explain first about insulation choice and then whether I should use grooved wooden boards and metal plates for heat distribution matrix casting leveling and laying pipes in mesh and type fiber flow?
Thanks.

Depends on how much you are going to raise, eps is cheap to fill with then self-leveling compound. If you want a board to lay the tube in, there are 30mm eps boards for that purpose.
Are there foam strips approximately 100mm wide to seal the floor/wall angle with?
