Hello. I just tore up the floor for an upcoming bathroom renovation. When I did the same thing on the lower floor, I removed the old "insulation" (whatever material it may be) and replaced it with fiberglass. However, now it's a larger area, and it's not exactly fun to remove all of that.
So what would some experts do? Remove everything or let it stay. This is an upstairs floor, so it's not terribly important to have good insulation properties (or is it?).
Regards,

Hello, I am also in the process of picking up and redoing a larger floor. Under my floor, there is about 1.5-2dm of sawdust, moss, needles, and other things, and beneath that lies about 2-3dm of clay plastering. I am trying to brace the floor somehow but haven't quite figured out how yet, it's an old log house. The span is about 6m, and there's a 50mm thick wooden floor that needs to go back in. I haven't decided yet if the clay should be removed or left in place, but sawdust will be put back in after possible blocking or cross-bracing.
