    6mm insulation boards on concrete under slate floor

    Hi just hoping someone far more knowledgeable will have the answer. I've got a concrete floor which is a bit crumbly in places. I plan to stick down 6mm polystyrene insulation boards then underfloor heating and slate tiles. Is this sensible or will I ruin the tiles?
