I am thinking about insulating a study about nine feet square. My 91 year old Father struggles to get up stairs so I am thinking of converting the study to use a bedroom.
His current bedroom is above the kitchen which has an AGA, so quite warm.
The study floor is concrete and had a carpet, the two external walls are uninsulated cavity walls, internal walls are stone with the other being uninsulated cavity wall.
The issue is to limit the height of the floor insulation.
The study leads into a hall which has wood block floor, approx 1/2 inch thick.
Thoughts are 25mm Celotex and 18mm chipboard. Not sure if I can get away with laminate floor directly onto the Celotex?
Have to cut the bottom of the door for clearance as well.
I have seen the multi foil rolls of insulation, but I thought they are for boarding out lofts?
Can anyone advise on options and the sense of using the 25mm celotex and 18mm chipboard or laminate flooring.
