Floor insulation
Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 9:44 pm
Hi everyone,
Just wanted some advice, any comments will be much appreciated.
I wanted to insulate concrete ground floor of my house.
I wanted to carry out the following installation and wanted to know if it is suitable:
1: Lay down vapour barrier sheet (prevent moisture from the floor rising)
2: 20mm celotex insulation board
3: Edging strips (prevent heat loss through the walls)
4: Laminate Underlay with moisture resistant foil
5: Laminate floor
My main concern is the vapour barrier sheet as most forums say to lay in the the warm side ie above the insulation board.
I am placing it below as I want to put underlay with moisture resistant.
Thanks in advance
