Limecrete Floors Brief Summary First, lay Geotextile Membrane on compacted clay. Then, 250mm of loose Coated Leca 10-20mm size Then, another layer of Geotextile Membrane. Then, 100mm of limecrete made up of 1 part NHL5 to 3 parts 20mm -0mm Leca. Then finish with a 50mm lime screed made up of 1 part NHL5 to 2 parts washed sharp sand.
My idea is to re-screed use Limecrete for the floor with ed glass insulation or possibly to just Limecrete/glass around the edges 100-150mm wide and Celotex/concrete screed the main parts.

Limecrete floors can comfortably meet modern insulation requirements and can therefore ensure maximum efficiency of under-floor heating (UFH) systems. Although not essential, you can use insulation values based on requirements set by Building Regulations as the goal for many floor systems that incorporate underfloor heating.
Limecrete floors are fully compatible with under floor heating. When covering the water pipes then a 75mm layer of limecrete is necessary. It is essential that when the under floor heating is commissioned the amount of heat directed to the pipes within the limecrete …
Country: The materials work out at about £80ish a sq M delivered. So £5600 for your 70sqM. You should be able to get that down to about 5k all in I reckon. If you think of a day per 20ish sq labour, cost of removing your current floor (concrete?) so say 5 days for 2men at about £140per day each, so another £700ish.

What are Ireland's Building Regulations for floor insulation? Current Building Regulations in Ireland (Part L 2011) require a ground floor U-value of 0.21W/m2K in builds without an underfloor heating system. This is reduced further to 0.15W/m2K in ground floor constructions that incorporate an underfloor heating system.
Bear in mind that major refurbishment of a house will require any of the new works to be compliant with building regulations. For starters, glass bottles under your floor hasn't any chance of providing the u-value for floors. I don't know much about limecrete but 100mm floor slab is not enough in any case.
