My kitchen floor is freezing cold. It's a suspended wooden floor, consisting of OSB or something similar with thin ceramic (may be plastic) jointed tiles on top. I've added 170mm underfloor insulation and draughtproofed everything bar the extractor fan, and it's made little difference, even though we now keep the room warmer with the radiators. Basically whatever the tile material is, it sucks heat out of your feet very rapidly. The dining room next door is the same floor construction but with engineered oak instead of the plastic/ceramic tiles, and this is lovely to walk on (even without underfloor insulation).
I want to add another layer of something on top of the tiled kitchen floor to make it a more comfortable surface to stand on in cold weather. I've considered cork but don't really like the look of it. What other options are available? I don't want to lift the units to do it, and ideally would just butt the new flooring up against the kickboards. I've seen rubber tiles and insulated laminate tiles mentioned, and natural strand woven bamboo (current favourite) but I'm interested in first hand experience from anyone else that has been down this route before.
