Insulation
Floor Insulation
InsulationFloor insulation is the installation of a thermal resistant barrier beneath the floor covering of your house, whatever type of floor construction you have, a suspended timber floor or a solid concrete slab floor. In the case of suspended timber floors, the insulation is normally installed between the joists, and this stops the heat being lost into the sub-floor void, and the rising cold air being drawn into the living area. In buildings with solid concrete floors, insulation may be attached to the slab prior to the final floor covering. It is an essential improvement that can avoid a lot of heat loss to the ground, remove draughts and make the place a lot warmer and more comfortable, particularly on ground floors.
Advantages of Insulated Floors
The process of installing floor insulation has so many advantages that would directly affect the comfort and energy efficiency of your home. You will also feel your floors being significantly warmer which makes the rooms a lot more welcoming and cozy, especially in colder seasons. It is efficient in eliminating draughts since it blocks openings and allows no cold air entry. This is also equivalent to a lot of energy saving because the heat lost to the ground is minimized hence cutting down on the total amount of money you use in heating. Moreover, the insulation of floors may offer better acoustics, whereby it may help absorb the noise travels between the levels of your premises, particularly in houses that have suspended floors.
