Insulating Under Floor From Basement Level

[chuckalicious]

Hi all - loving the new forum look. Great on the mobile (not been on here in a while).

I'm going to be moving into a new house next month and have an insulation question. It is a bungalow but has a large (and very dry) basement. The ceiling of the basement, which is the floor of the main house, doesn't seem to be insulated, unless there is insulation between the ceiling of the basement and the floor boards of the main floor.

I would like to put up insulation boards, Kingspan or the like, however having looked on the website there are so many different kinds I haven't a clue which to buy.

Can anyone suggest if a) putting up insulation boards is a good idea, b) which ones to use and c) what should I stick them up with?

Thanks all.

There are literally thousands of threads on the forum in the flooring section, have a search, your options are basically rockwool suspended with chicken wire or a rigid insulation held up with nails or battens.//www.diynot.com/diy/search/80836/?q=chicken&o=relevance&c[user][0]=46858

Thanks Freddy. Did search but didn't find anything matching my setup. But your link does, so thank you. I will look through the results.

I've searched for many things over the years on this forum, but that's a new one on me
