Hello all,
I have a property which has suspended floors, there are approx 20 airbricks that which provide ventilation to the sub-floor.
I recently redecorated the property and laid laminate flooring down with fibre board insulation underneath.
Problem: The floors are just too cold! Even when heating is on they hardly ever warm to a comfortable level.
Question:
How can i better insulate the floor WITHOUT lifting the floorboards? (they are tongue/grooved hence the reason i dont want to get into removing them).
Could i:
Lift current laminate and fibre board, fill the gaps between the Floor boards with DraughtEX and then lay down some foil insulation? Then add the fibre and laminate back down? The extra layer of the foil will add 4mm to the overall floor which is OK.
Or, i was thinking of adding heated flooring?
Lifting the current laminate off is not a big deal as majority of the rooms are still empty.
