    you could possibly look to get a solid wood floor, which are normally laid on timber battons which you could put foil backed insulation between, might sort it for you but the level of the floor would end up being raised by bout 2inches.

    What he said.

    2x1 battons nailed to the concret with kingspan between them for a top job. Then a wooden floor laid on top of that.
