Afternoon everyone hope all is well.
Would appreciate some advice, not come across this scenario before.
After major renovation, we're left with a utility room adjacent to the kitchen. The utility area is the rear section of the old garage, a concrete slab no insulation. Currently, from the kitchen there's a step down (slab, 100mm+ pir, 40mm anhydrate screed, underlay, laminate) to the concrete slab of utility.
The utility floor is 40mm lower, and ideally I'd like the two floors to be even/slight slope to utility. not really giving me much room for decent insulation. Want it as a working utility for clothes drying so if I can tweak it to give better efficiency, great.
What would your best solution be in this scenario? Currently, I'm at bedding down 30/50mm insulated tile backer boards, and tiling on top.
I could joist out with 3x2 on the long edge and put 40mm pir, but then a 22mm chip board on top would give me nearly 70mm height plus finished floor.
Either two above with an electric ufh mat high output, and a electric panel heater low down on wall.
Flexible on what finished floor can be.
TIA for any advice people
