Boards to insulate a floor without UFH or not?
Hi,
I am about to start laying porcelein tiles in my Kitchen.
I am laying a wood floor in the rest of the house.
The insulation would serve 2 purposes.
1. Raise the level of the porcelain by 10mm to the same as the wood.
2. Provide insulation of the floor using Ekoboard or similar.
My questions are:
1. Any real benefit of using boards to insulate without UFH?
2. Best method of fixing the boards to a concrete sub-floor?
3. Would I be better off just using SLC to raise the tiles approx 10 mm to get the floors level with eachother?
Laying insulation seems to be a cheaper and greener alternative to just raising the floor with SLC
Thanks.

What is the existing subfloor mate, Ekoboards are laid using a SPF adhesive, the subfloor has to be solid underneath as they provide no strengthening.
