floorboard insulation and ply ?

[pippo]

Hello everyone,

I have asked about this before however i did not get a reply so I thought id start a new thread. We have pretty drafty and cold floorboards on the ground floor and will be sorting this out next week. I would like to know if what im about to do will cause problems.

I plan to do this:

1 Use 100mm eco-wool insulation on stapled plastic netting between the joists
2 Use 6mm ply on top of the floorboards to even them up
3 Use a quality underlay like cloud 9 or similar
4 Carpet

My concern is that the floorboards will be sandwiched with ply on top and insulation underneath. Will this be a problem?

The eco wool is a irratant free insulation roll made from recycled plastic bottles on sale at bnq.

Any advice would be great

pippo

you might as well send the old boards to the tip and put down 18mm WBP ply as your new floor.
