Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Aug 17, 2022 7:04 pm I have laminate floor on concrete slab downstairs. Very cold in winter and summer because I'm on a hills and downstairs doesn't get any sun. What can I do to retrofit some insulation under the flooring? Re: Retrofit concrete floor insulation 2Aug 17, 2022 9:51 pm You are not asking the right question. Insulation will stop heat loss but you have no heat to lose. I have laminate on slab in my Tassie home and its just fine. Laminate floats on 3mm foam which is also insulator.

Isn't the heat lost through the concrete slab which is not insulated? It gets really cold downstairs because heat is lost? 1 10308 Has anyone had experience with using this surfacing? I have read it can stain easily. 0 3552 |
