how do I close the floor slot *image*
I have removed the heating pipes from the floor, planning to add insulation and then put on a new cover.
The question is whether I should leave the plastic in place, or if I should remove the plastic, lay insulation, and maybe have plastic on top of the insulation? then the cover.
And how do I glue and nail to prevent creaking and other issues?
In short, how would you properly close this up?

someone must have laid chipboard before?
Should I apply a bead of glue on the joists, or should it be in large amounts, or should it be silicone?
-Should there also be glue between the existing board and the cover I am laying now?
What kind of nails?
How much space between the cover and the wall, the cover and the existing floorboard?
Don't want it to start creaking..
