Can concrete be poured over some sort of insulation? I suggest you dig out the floor at least 8", put down 4" insulation, and pour 4" of concrete on top of that. Slab houses, at least locally, are routinely poured over insulation. Not only does it help eliminate the cold floor and condensation issues, it saves on heating costs. If you need more height, just dig a bit deeper, as long as you don't go below your footings. |
