We recently renovated a room with a new subfloor, stone wool, and solid wood flooring directly on the joists. We have very high baseboards in the room, so in some places, the baseboard is not flush with the floor. In winter, you might experience a slight draft on the floor, and now we're thinking of installing a trim strip to seal properly against the floor. My question is, should we insert insulation backing under the baseboard before nailing the trim strip? If so, what type of insulation, the same as in the joists, i.e., stone wool, or something else?
 
Should the lack of response be interpreted as having asked a silly question? 😄
 
Do you have whole Örnpapp, Windy, gnu, asfaboard, or similar under the facade?

Insulating in the angle between the floor and the wall is probably not wrong, I have insulated the gaps in an old paneled timber frame from the inside with lindrev and it worked fine.

Sealing between the floor and wall angle is probably not wrong; I've sealed gaps in an old paneled timber framing from the inside with linen sealant, and it worked fine.
I think it's just subfloor boards, mineral wool insulation, and then the solid wood floor. But then maybe I'll insert some glass wool sealant instead. The reason I'm asking is that I want to avoid doing something "too tight" if it could create another problem 🙂

If you don't have any working wind protection under the facade, it's quite pointless to try to stop the draft with "a little glass wool strip"

Yes, but isn't it the trossbottenskiva that acts as the wind barrier in this case?
