Wrong section mate.

This is about computers and technology.

did you try turning it off and on again?


damn my lack of expertise and anything woodwork related!

hi not sure if this will work
you might have to lift the floorboards and use the solid kingspam stuff between the joist
cut it exact or a little too big and force in to the slot
you will need to do this for all area
then again not sure if you will be blocking the air circulation that might rot the floorboards
try ringing one of the insulating companies and ask what to reccomend

Digging up concrete floors is a dirty, dusty job - hardly worth the upheaval. Have you consided electric underfloor heating mats with tiled floors?
Timber floating floorsboards on a conc slab is the same problem - hardy worth digging up the conc.

If its timber joist floor then insulating between the joists of timber floors is possible but you'll need new floorboards. Ensure the external wall vents are clear to maintain air ventilation to the floor void.

carpet and a good underlay would be imo, the simplest solution
