Floor Insulation Solutions

Various flooring types require different insulation applications. Installing these solutions is essential for achieving efficient insulation.

Timber flooring

Timber flooring, typically present in older homes, can be fitted either above or below the existing structure. Here's the process: Insulation Above Floorboards - EcoTec Floor-Foam Insulation Kit is a cutting edge solution that can be applied directly to the surface of the floorboards, eliminating the necessity of lifting them. This insulation is a 4mm thick, dense foam with foil on both sides, designed to reflect heat back into the room while stopping draughts from beneath. Insulation Beneath Floorboards - For this purpose, products such as Ecoquilt Expert and SuperQuilt are frequently used. Should you have a cellar or a crawl space beneath the insulated floor, allowing access to the underside of the floorboards, you have the option to insulate from below by fitting the insulation into the joists. If access to the underside is not available, it will be necessary to remove the floorboards in order to fit EcoQuilt Expert or SuperQuilt into the joists, followed by reinstalling the floorboards.

Concrete flooring

In modern houses, concrete flooring is more common which needs an alternative method of insulation. The EcoTec Floor-foam Insulation Kit is an excellent choice for insulating concrete floors without the need to take up the existing flooring. This kit is designed to be applied directly into the concrete surface using ThermaSeal Double Sided Tape or a non-solvent adhesive. Ventilation - Ensuring adequate airflow is essential to avoid dampness. By taping and sealing EcoTec Floor-Foam, EcoQuilt Expert, and SuperQuilt, this will create a vapour control layer that aids in regulating moisture levels.
