I am going to change the ceramic kitchen floor tiles and would like to have

the tile cement so does anyone know of a type of insulation I might be able
to use? I was wondering about a foil roll or something similar if it exists.

Many thanks.


Pointless unless you can get a couple of inches of polystyrene in there.

Foil is not insulative., Its conductive. Al is the most conductive metal
for its weight there is pretty much.

Nitpick:
Sodium and a couple of other of the alkali metals beat it.

But you don't often see these metals used so much in the construction
industry though
