hi All
I have a large(ish) (4x8m) mixed concrete floor, mixed as its slab, screed and part wood. I want to finish this room with a wooden floor and install some insulation to help keep it a bit warmer.
So first off I'm thinking about laying battens down 70mm, installing a 20mm airgap and 50mm insulation. then laying floorboards across these battens.
now, questions
1. does this sound like a sensible approach?
2. should I lay some plastic damp proofing sheets below the battens? the floor doesn't' feel 'wet' but it very cold, and its very old so not sure if they would have dpc'd it before.
cheers.
