Suspended Floor Insulation
A suspended ground floor is one of the leading causes of heat loss within older homes. But there is a way to prevent energy loss and keep out the cold.
Suspended floor insulation can help to ensure a room retains heat and is energy efficient
Suspended Floor Insulation-
Does the floor in your sitting room tend to get really cold? Are you having trouble heating up the floor? Well, one of the reasons your floor is getting cold is because the floor is one of the paths that heat leaves your home by.
The majority of heat loss occurs through the roof. However, some 10 to 20 percent of heat loss is due to your floor.
So, if you are wondering is it worth insulating under floorboards, the answer is yes
A typical raised floor in most older buildings is made of timber, where more modern buildings would have a concrete floor design. With the floor raised above the ground surface, the crawl space left below often causes more energy loss than a modern building.
Suspended floor insulation is the answer. Installed in between the wooden beams or against the underside of a concrete floor over a crawlspace, it can reduce heat loss to almost zero and increase energy efficiency through innovative use of sustainable materials.
- Keeps out cold air and prevents warm air escaping
- Increases the energy efficiency of older buildings
- Reduces your carbon footprint
