One overlooked area of heat loss in homes is through poorly insulated floors. Floor insulation aims to resolve this by creating robust barriers under floorboards. Made using high-compression rigid foam, these panels minimise conductive and convective heat flow escaping into the ground.
Insulation values are between R-10 to R-25 and valuable warmth stays locked inside living spaces instead of radiating downwards. Indoor areas need less heating operation to feel comfortably warm. By minimising heat wastage, floor insulation cuts electricity usage substantially during cold snaps. Summers also remain bearable as cooled indoor air doesn't quickly seep into warmer ground underlying homes.
Installation is simple whether in new builds or existing spaces with flooring removed. The ultra-slim insulation panels slot snugly underneath finished flooring like laminate or engineered hardwood. This leaves room heights unaffected while preventing energy from draining away through ineffective floor insulation.
