under floor insulation
An uninsulated floor can lose roughly 15% of the heat from your home, so the ground floor and any upstairs rooms above unheated areas should be suitably insulated. According to the Energy Saving Trust, installing floor insulation could save you up to £65 on heating bills and 290kg of carbon dioxide emissions annually. If you’re looking for a quick fix to a cold house, there are a lot of options available that don’t cost the earth, many of which can be installed yourselves. If you’d rather fully insulate your home, the cost can be high, so it’s best to coincide this with any renovation work you have planned.
what is underfloor insulation?
Underfloor Insulation is an insulation system to stop the cold air beneath your floor and spreading through the floorboards making your home cold and uncomfortable. A timber floor is just on average around 19mm thick, this combined with possible air leakage, create a heat sink beneath your home, drawing the heat out from below. Good underfloor insulation can make a big difference to how comfortable your home is, and to the size of your energy bills. In homes with accessible underfloor spaces, it’s relatively cheap and easy to do. If you would like to know more information about underfloor insulation contact Halifax Eco Insulations Ltd.
