Understanding Floor Insulation

Floor insulation is crucial for enhancing a home’s comfort and energy efficiency.
It reduces heat loss through the floor, making your home warmer in the winter and helping to cut down on heating costs.

There are two main types of floor insulation

Suspended floor insulation

This type is used in homes with wooden floorboards over a void, helping to prevent cold air from rising through the floor. Insulation is typically installed between the floor joists to minimise heat loss.

Solid floor insulation

Applied directly to concrete floors, solid floor insulation involves laying insulation material on top of the existing surface before a new floor is applied, ensuring minimal heat escape.
