Such a task as ensuring good thermal insulation can be solved by several methods. If you need to insulate the floor, then the use of expanded clay is very good for this. It is extremely easy to work with this material, and the level of thermal insulation that it provides is considered very high.
The procedure itself, which in this case is carried out, is largely determined by the features of the floor. If such a base as wooden lags is used for flooring, expanded clay falls asleep between them and forms a high layer. The thickness can be 10 cm. Due to this, it will also be possible to provide a more even floor, and not just achieve good thermal insulation.
But expanded clay can be embraced on the concrete surface. In this case, it is more difficult to work, since there are no guidelines for the formation of expanded clay. Therefore, it is necessary to fall asleep with expanded clay and so that after laying each layer about 3 cm thick, tamping is additionally carried out.
Expanded exposure is a good basis for laying the flooring. But you can increase its reliability if such a thermal insulation layer also spill with concrete. As a result, an excellent base for the flooring will be obtained.
