Yes, and EcoTherm Floor-Therm is ideal for this application. We recommend placing a sheet of polythene (1000 gauge / 0.25 mm) over the insulation before pouring your screed. This helps to protect the foil surface of the insulation from the alkalinity / dampness of the screed and prevents it entering the joints between the boards.
