Underfloor Insulation: Boost Energy Efficiency & Comfort

Posted September 2024

Underfloor Insulation

To improve your home’s energy efficiency, underfloor insulation is one of the best solutions. Insulating the floors can help reduce heat loss. This will lower your energy bills and make your home more comfortable all year.

At Climate Control Insulation, we focus on high-quality underfloor insulation. The insulation we use keeps homes warm in winter and cool in summer. It also helps reduce carbon emissions.

Benefits of Floor Insulation

Many people often ignore insulating their floors, but doing so is crucial for keeping your home comfortable. Floor insulation creates a thermal barrier, preventing heat from escaping through your floorboards. This can result in up to 20% energy savings on your heating and cooling costs. By investing in floor insulation, you can:

  • Improve the energy efficiency of your home.
  • Reduce noise levels, especially in homes with timber floors.
  • Increase the value of your property by making it more energy-efficient and eco-friendly.

Over the course of a year, this can translate to substantial financial savings and a reduction in your carbon footprint. With rising energy costs, investing in underfloor insulation is not only eco-friendly but also economically beneficial.

Older homes with wooden floors often gain a lot from underfloor insulation. These homes usually lose more heat through the floor. Meanwhile, modern homes can also improve energy efficiency with insulation upgrades, enhancing their already efficient designs. Whether your home is traditional or contemporary, underfloor insulation provides significant energy savings.

For superior thermal performance under your floors, R2.5HD Pink Batts are an excellent option. These high-density batts provide exceptional insulation, making your home more energy-efficient while keeping it comfortable year-round.

  • To ensure a secure installation, you can use Corex Fixing Strips to hold these batts in place. This will stop them from sagging or shifting over time.
  • This easy installation method ensures the insulation stays in place. This keeps it effective and provides long-term energy savings. Perfect for both new builds and retrofitting projects, R2.5HD Pink Batts are a reliable choice for underfloor insulation.

Why Choose Polyester for Underfloor Insulation?

When selecting underfloor insulation, the material is just as important as the installation. Underfloor polyester insulation is an excellent choice because of its sustainable properties and high performance. Manufacturers create polyester insulation from recycled materials, including P.E.T. (polyethylene terephthalate), which comes from plastic beverage containers. This eco-friendly option is not only great for the environment but also safe and easy to install.

Unlike some other types of insulation, polyester does not require special protective gear during installation. Soft to touch and non-irritating, this material is a popular choice for residential applications. Also, polyester insulation is remarkably durable. The system will keep working well over time, giving your home lasting benefits

How to Insulate Under Floorboards

Installing insulation under floorboards is an effective way to improve your home’s insulation without major structural changes. The process involves placing the insulation between the joists under your floor.

Polyester insulation is great for this. Its flexible structure helps it fit snugly between floor joists. The design ensures durability and maintains its integrity over time.

Homeowners can easily install underfloor insulation in the crawl space of homes with suspended timber floors. This helps trap heat inside during cold months. It effectively prevents heat from entering during warmer months.. This leads to a more stable indoor temperature all year.
