Iremoved the carpets sanded the floorboards in the ground floor; this looks great, but of course is very drafty. In winter I tend to put down rugs in the front room, in fact with any spare hardboard I can find underneath, to minimise drafts.
What I'd like to do is install a layer of insulation between the floor joists in each room (and hallway, suspeended either by netting or possibly a sheet of material underneath the joists. It may be also worth adding a layer/sheet of material between the joists and relaid floorboards as an extra draft barrier.
This work may also require additional ventilation for the underfloor area, and also needs to allow for existing electrical, gas and water services.
I also want to consider the options & viability of including underfloor heating at the same time.
