What do you mean?

Are you asking if you can "Add" insulation to a Floor??

Insulate under a concrete slab?

Please Clarify your question.:confused:
 
Um, well, I'd like to know the answer to both of those questions please.
 
Normally insulating a concrete floor is done ONE of two ways.

IF the floor is already poured you can DIG away on the outside. Dig down At least 2 feet and install 2" EXTRUDED polystyrene. DO NOT use the EXPANDED (white bead board like a foam coffee cup) polystyrene. IF you have Incredible patience and ability you can/should install it down 4' but if you can get at least 2' that will do 80% of the job.

IF you have not yet poured the concrete, You can do it Several ways. Install the 2" Similar to the images below:

My personal preference is using figure 3.:eek:

Hopefully your garage isn't already finished!! That seems like a lot of work, if so.
