I'm about to build a new airing cupboard over a ground-floor concrete slab. The house is 100 years old, it isn't a suspended concrete floor, simply a slab in contact with the earth.
I'd like to insulate the floor a) to lose less heat from the cylinder, b) to help reduce noise from the shower pump I will be installing.
I was thinking of some form of floor insulation (Kingspan Thermafloor 50mm?) directly onto the concrete, with OSB flooring on top, then the cylinder on top of that. Is that the right way to do it? If not, what should I be doing?
Thanks!
