I need help to understand on flooring insulation.
I am ready to install a new solid hardwood floor over subfloor over crawl space cover with plywood. Even though I do have insulation under my subfloor/crawl space, I like to put an extra insulation layer between the plywood and the hardwood.
Can you suggest what kind of insulation material I can use? I have two type of radiant barrier sheets to question on:
1) Radiant barrier sheet (like in http://www.radiantbarrier.com/diamond-insulation.htm)
2) Double bubble radiant sheet (like in http://www.radiantbarrier.com/double-bubble-insulation.htm)
Please explain which type is better, if it is ok to use for the application, pros and cons of each if use, or better, any other recommendation.
Thank you in advance.
