Hi
I have a contractor lowering my basement floor (in Toronto) and he quoted me cad1900 for putting a 2" insulation (HD Polystyrene) between gravel and concrete.
Someone else recommended that solution to me but I'm not sure it's worth the money re: 'warm feet'. The basement got a new weeping tile, water membrane etc and otherwise sits on the soil 5-6' or so below grade.
Advice appreciated
1. add 2" insulation under concrete?
2. (bonus question) vapour barrier between gravel and concrete?
Thank you for your input
Cheers
Nils
