    Concrete Basement Floor Insulating
    I want to cover the concrete floors in my basement. Is there a recommended practice for insulating a concrete floor? I have seen the Dri Core type of subfloors, but I'm sure I could do it for less another way. Any Advice?

    By far the cheapest way it to use glued down indoor/outdoor carpet. Much more than that and you will have door issues.
