Foam was not "held up" by anything. Compression over time is a missing data problem. Rigid foams are unbelievably strong in PSI however. They were until recently replacing sheathing in construction, even for high-rises until a few fire horrific disasters disuaded builders for continuing on finehomebuilding.com/project-guides/insulation/… | |

Did you apply the vapor barrier above or below the foam? How has the rigid foam held up? I would worry that it would compress over time depending on the weight and traffic on the floor. | |
