Insulation is done because it has many plus points like the reduction of your energy costs, maintaining a comfortable temperature in your home and extending the life span of the various implements like coolers and air conditioners in your home. The materials required for insulation of your home would be dependant on your choice of the method of insulation. If a concrete floor is left un-insulated then heat would escape from the room and leave it cold and unwelcoming.

You can insulate the concrete floors in your home yourself. This is a method of foam insulation.  The first step is to vacuum the floor properly and to cover it with polyethylene sheets. Then dig the trenches around the edges and add the sleepers and foam to the floor. Then attach the subfloor properly. This is done with the use of plywood, nails and screws. You can get more detailed information about this method from the website at this link www.hometips.com.
