Hello everyone!
I have an area of about 8m2 in the entrance area of my house with a kind of anteroom.
Here is a small coat rack and the doors to the ground floor rooms (workshop and heating cellar).
I had the door replaced and now that this leak has been fixed, I want to address the floor. The substructure consists of about 50cm thick concrete from the year 1899, underneath is a damp ground – there is no basement below. No moisture is visible on the concrete and the old parquet in the workshop is not warping, so I assume the floor is quite dry.
I now want to insulate this anteroom because it is always very cold here – currently there are only 2mm thick PVC boards glued to the concrete. There are only 45mm available in total.
Can someone recommend a suitable insulation? Since it is the entrance area, it must be able to handle moisture as well... would underfloor heating be advisable? The heat could then rise and also heat the entire staircase... currently there is no radiator here.
Thank you very much, Nick
