Substandard insulation levels are prevalent in numerous UK homes, resulting in a significant amount of heat loss through the floor, typically ranging between 10-20% in an average home. This figure can be much higher in older properties with hardwood floors. However, eligible parties can access the latest floor insulation standards under ECO 4.
*Note – The time required for the installation depends on the type of flooring, with suspended floor insulation taking 2-3 hours and solid floor insulation taking around 4 hours.
The easiest underfloor insulation option is typically blanket or roll insulation. It's flexible and can be easily cut to size, making installation a breeze for improved comfort and energy efficiency.
Floor insulation is highly effective in reducing heat loss and improving energy efficiency. It helps to maintain a comfortable temperature, reduce energy bills, and enhance overall warmth and comfort in your home.
The cheapest way to insulate a concrete floor is by using polystyrene insulation boards. They provide excellent thermal insulation properties, are cost-effective, and can be easily installed on the concrete surface.
When it comes to insulation boards for floors, rigid polyurethane foam boards are often considered the best. They offer high insulation values, excellent load-bearing capacity, and moisture resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Solid floor insulation can be achieved by installing rigid insulation boards directly on top of the solid floor surface. The boards are then covered with a layer of flooring, providing effective thermal insulation and improving energy efficiency in your home.
