Installing insulation ABOVE the subfloor

vendredi 22 août 2014

The preferred method for insulating a new subfloor seems to be glueing on rigid foam insulation to the underside of the subfloor between the rails. Oh course the subfloor over the frame gets no insulation whatsoever. I thought in addition to this, why not cover the entire upper side of the subfloor throughout the trailer with 1" foam then install the vinyl flooring on top of the foam? Using the rigid foam insulation that goes under concrete slabs should have adequate compression strength to support people walking on it. The advantages are cushioning and everywhere gets insulation even over the rails. The only downside I see is the floor becomes 1" higher loosing this much headroom. For us this is not a problem. Has anyone done this? Am I missing something?
