ᐅ Floor construction of an uninsulated concrete slab

Hello,

I have a question regarding the floor construction for an uninsulated concrete slab, see the sketch attached. We want to implement the following construction but have received somewhat different recommendations on certain details.

This mainly concerns which insulation material should be installed between the counter battens and whether a variable vapor retarder makes sense or not. The primary issue is the problematic transition from the cold concrete slab to the insulation.

Does anyone have practical experience with how such a setup can be executed in the best possible way?

Best regards,
Jens

Rubber granulate for cushioning.
For soundproofing? Wouldn’t that be undone by fixing the floor back down with wood angle screws?

Not for soundproofing, since it’s on the ground floor. It’s meant to make the floor flexible (which is good for the joints). And it works exactly as I had planned ;-)
But it’s probably just a big coincidence, as I couldn’t precisely calculate that part and only made a rough estimate (joist cross-section and spacing, counter battens, OSB, impact sound insulation, and parquet flooring, etc.).
