In the case where they are made of wood blocks, which are covered with top boards as a floor, may be used as various bulk materials and with a rolling slab.

For concrete slabs choice of insulation is reduced only to the plate materials.

In an extreme case, allowed the use of heavy bulk insulation, but only if over them durable cement is made.

Also, when selecting a heater for the cold floor of the attic on a mandatory basis should pay attention to the insulating properties of the chosen material, as well as the simplicity of its installation.

Quite often for concrete slabs using plate heat insulation, and special insulation mats.

This modern insulation can not only effectively protect the interior of the house from the cold, but also makes the design more attractive loft.

slab insulation It is placed over the entire surface of the leveled floor, including near the stairs and all the joints between the slabs hermetically sealed with sealing foam.
