Im assuming this is what you mean by the boards?,.
Those boards are exactly the same as the ones I've got in my shed and they do a decent enough job of keeping the heat in, more importantly for me they give the floor some rigidity and for extra protection I used silicone sealant around all the edges.

The single biggest benefit I found for keeping my shed warm was sealing all the gaps/windows/roof etc which took about 3 tubes of silicone sealant and about 2 hours. I also put some additional strengthening 3"x2" supports on both the doors to stop them from warping with latches on the inside to hold them flush to the frame work.
