This is for the Little Brown Bungalow project, but may be more useful here in future for reference. The current floor buildup is, from the bottom: Concrete raft. 300mm or so ventilated void. Suspended wooden floor. Underlay + carpet or similar. The void contains some water and gas pipework. The question how to maintain this access in future. I am planning a 'floating' floor ... though not completely floating. The intended buildup is something like: Concrete raft. Ventilated void. Insulation between joists - 100-200mm rockwool. Suspended wooden floor. Vapour / air membrane 50mm Kingspan between battens. It is from Seconds and Co so the battens are to be safe. 18mm OSB, screwed down to battens. Underlay. Click fit laminate or carpet, depending on room. The question is how to do the floor so that I can get at the gas / water piping if necessary. I am able to adjust the buildup if necessary to a degree. I could potentially leave the battens out altogether or not screw them or the OSB down depending on the Kingspan which I will find out when it arrives, and insert a separation membrane to ease movement. Any comments are most welcome. Cheers Ferdinand
