Looking for floor insulation for a good price?
If there is a ceiling below the floor then you can insulate the ceiling and that will insulate the floor using traditional insulation. If you are looking to insulate a basement floor then one of the cheaper forms of insulation is called Thermo-Tech Ultra Light flooring insulation. There are other forms that you can use but this is the least expensive.

Should you insulate under the floor warming system?
In most cases, the insulation that is already in your floor will be adequate. If there is no insulation under your frame floor, we do recommend adding it.For Concrete floors, always recommend Cork insulation. Concrete slabs absorb part of the heat generated by the floor warming system so less heat is transferred to the flooring. Heat always moves toward colder surfaces, so it goes both up & down when the floor warming system is in direct contact with a slab. But, adding a simple layer of cork between the slab & floor heating provides a "thermal break" reducing the flow of heat into the slab and allowing MORE HEAT transfer into the flooring. Installing insulation on top of slab translates into more heat, faster response times and less energy used; a wise investment. There are a few other insulation materials available, but Cork is the best choice, since it is a natural product and a renewable resource, unlike other insulating products.
What is underfloor insulation?
Underfloor Insulation is an insulation system to stop the cold air beneath your floor and spreading through the floorboards making your home cold and uncomfortable. A timber floor is just on average around 19mm thick, this combined with possible air leakage, create a heat sink beneath your home, drawing the heat out from below.Good underfloor insulation can make a big difference to how comfortable your home is, and to the size of your energy bills. In homes with accessible underfloor spaces, it’s relatively cheap and easy to do.
