Good day,

how can I best insulate a capping slab above an unheated basement? The caps lie between wooden beams, partly steel beams are screwed to the beams. Cap height: approx. 15 cm.

My ideas on this:


    [*]Apply foil to the concrete ceiling (vapor-permeable / vapor barrier?)
    [*]Level the caps with a filling on the foil
    [*]Fit OSB boards between the beams (saves valuable room height)
    [*]Possibly lay insulation in the spaces between the beams, as used in screed (EPS)

    [*]Apply foil over the entire surface
    [*]Lay impact sound insulation
    [*]Install parquet flooring

I am quite uncertain especially about the point of foil on the caps. I do not want to apply screed. The thermal insulation above the unheated basement should be realized as much as possible within the caps, as the room height is limited.

Does anyone have a tip on how to optimally insulate such a configuration? Sound insulation plays hardly any role, since the basement is a purely utility basement that is not inhabited.

Best regards Frank
