They both look like natural parts of the tree to me, and nothing to worry about.

I've done this, it works. I'm curious why you want a rating for the purpose? Using a membrane is a good idea because: -A lot of heat is lost through the floor through simple air flow - a membrane can massively reduce this. In terms of heat loss through a suspended floor, I wonder whether a...
