ᐅ Rooms cold on the floor – is insulating the basement ceiling a good idea?

Our living room (ground floor) feels extremely cold underfoot. Even after heating for hours (standard radiator), your feet still feel cold—the floor temperature measured with an infrared thermometer is between 17 and 18°C (63 and 64°F).
The basement room below has a temperature of about 13°C (55°F), and the basement ceiling is bare concrete.
My question is: Would insulating the basement ceiling help? If so, what materials would you recommend?

Where can you get these aluminum-faced PUR boards? They can’t be found at the local DIY stores around here...From specialist suppliers. Or also from well-known insulation material retailers like Dämmstoffkönig or smartbau.
Aluminum foil facing is not necessary. Mineral wool insulation also works.
Aluminum foil facing is not really needed even under underfloor heating.
Look for PUR or PIR insulation boards, for example from Bauder.
Dämmstoffkönig was out of stock when I asked last summer, but maybe they have it again now. Otherwise, searching for PUR boards should be quite helpful.

What do you think about XPS rigid foam boards? You can find something like that at the hardware store.
