I ask because I had a hardwood floor installed in my basement, and the hardwood is always ice-cold to the touch—even when the room is completely warm. (This makes for very cold feet.) I have the distinct impression something was left out.

They make some very innovative warm floor systems.
A insulation board is laminated to the slab, followed by the electric heating coils and then the wood.

The wood over the cement is like a permanent heat sink drawing on the 50 degree or so temps of the ground, year around.
