What is under floor insulation and why should you choose it for your home?
Under floor insulation reduces heat loss through the suspended floors of your home. With uninsulated suspended floors, up to 10% of heat can be lost. This leads to higher energy bills and carbon footprint. Insulating between the joists of your suspended floors keeps your home warmer.
What are suspended floors?
Suspended floors are floors which have an open area underneath them. This open space allows for air flow and helps prevents damp/mould, however this can also lead to heat loss and cold floors if not properly insulated.
How to know if you have suspended floors
There is a quick and simple test you can do to indicate whether you have suspended floors or not. Simply jump or stamp on the floor. If you feel any form of vibration or reverb within the room, then theres a good chance you have suspended timber floors. If the floor is solid and you feel the impact in your body, this would suggest solid floors.
