My kitchen floor is tiles on concrete. It's freezing in the winter - can I just lay a new floor over the top - would this help? Or should I get them all pulled up before I put a new floor down.

| If I was you, I would buy a pot belly stove and put in the kitchen. They are warm and cosy. Your kitchen floor wont be so cold then.

I reckon that your kitchen would be the place to be on balmy summer night!
My recommendation in winter - wear some slippers!
Much cheaper than anything else!

I have the same issue and came across an excellent solution at a recent home show.
DIY under flooring heaters - I haven't bought one yet so can't comment on the specific products but they are Aussie owned and sound promising. These are plug in devices that can either be fitted or portable and are powered by electricity. At the moment I live in a house with slab heating and it's such a luxury - won't have this at my new place and the kitchen floor will be concrete + tiles *shiver* so I'm going to try these add-on floor heaters instead once i move - easier than in-slab heating too.
I'm going to get one to go under a rug and then have it on the kitchen floor. You can buy heated pet rugs too. You can also get these things fitted under the carpets or under tiles (if you are prepared to redo your flooring) and because they are classified as an appliance, you can DIY.

| I had a concrete floor in my bathroom, in my house in Windsor, N.S.W., and found vinyl flooring made so much difference, you would be rather surprised.
