Underfloor Insulation

Many homes with suspended timber floors have a ventilated space beneath the floorboards. While this airflow is important for keeping the structure dry, an uninsulated floor can allow heat to escape and sound to travel more easily through the property.

Installing insulation between the floor joists can improve the performance of the floor without preventing the ventilation required beneath it. Depending on the property and what you want to achieve, underfloor insulation can be used to improve thermal efficiency, reduce noise transmission, or address both.

Thermal underfloor insulation helps reduce heat loss through suspended floors, making rooms more comfortable and helping improve the overall energy efficiency of the home.

Acoustic underfloor insulation is designed to reduce sound travelling through the floor structure, helping limit noise between rooms or different levels of a property.

Signs your floor may benefit from underfloor insulation include:

• Floors that feel cold underfoot
• Rooms that struggle to retain heat
• Draughts around or through floorboards
• Noticeable sound travelling between floors or rooms

We offer dedicated thermal and acoustic underfloor insulation solutions, allowing the installation to be tailored to the property and the reason for insulating.
