Hi everyone,
For a while now I've noticed how ridiculously cold my lounge is, and one of the main reasons is because the floor is so cold. I've finally managed to pull up some of the laminate flooring (had to remove skirting board as well), and I've found that all that is under the laminate is a thin layer of stiff foam (assuming it is meant to be the underlay) and then it is straight onto concrete:
My question is: what are your recommendations for replacing it? I ideally don't want to have to increase the height of the flooring, but if the best option by a mile requires it, then I would consider it. I've been in touch with Superfoil about using some of their foil specifically designed for flooring, but even they recommend using it alongside PIR and potentially a plywood substrate underneath the laminate.
It's very hard to know what to do, given the number of different options available to me, so I'm hoping someone wiser and more intelligent has a better idea!
Thanks in advance.
