    Default insulation backed chipboard

    ive got a bathroom to do this week, its chipboard flooring and as the
    house is only about 6 yrs old i thought i would lift
    a bit of floor to make sure it was not a floating floor,
    its not a floating floor but the chipboard has about 40mm
    of insulation between it and the joists, should i just overlay with ply and tile as normal?


    thanks

    I would call that a floating floor, though strange to have the insulation on top of the joists, as this would lead to more movement imo...

    Same as Stewart, after a while would have thought it may have compressed...
