Hi Algy, welcome to our forum!!

I wouldn't worry about insulating the slabs in your greenhouse. In my old greenhouse (before we moved home) I had slabs on the ground, which are easy to keep swept clean and I would think that slugs or snails will be able to hid underneath the insulation.

Why not post a question about this on the greenhouse section where you should get more suggestions?

If the winter this year is like last years then it will make no difference.
