    hi Folks,

    I am taking up all the laminated floors in a new(old) house I have just bought. I need to redo the whole plumbing.
    While the are up, I might as well put down some floor insulation. But it cannot be too thich as the door would not close/open and the door saddles are very low. Also i will be replacing the laminate.
    Its a bungalow around 1650 sq ft.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks a lot,

    John

    Are you talking about putting the new plumbing in a concrete slab?
    If so I can't recommend any insulation worth installing without removing the old slab!:eek:

    Insulate all plumbing pipes, consider highly insulating the existing walls & attic instead. SEI grants are available.

    thanks rkq

    i just thought there might be some very thin sheet reflector/insulation which I could utilize here? I have no intention of digging out floors as I cannot afford it. I will be doing the walls an attic in due course as I get the money.
