Insulation Type

Underfloor Insulation

Stop heat escaping through your floors with underfloor insulation — particularly effective in older homes, fully funded through government grants.

What Is Underfloor Insulation?

Underfloor insulation prevents heat from escaping downwards through the ground floor of your home. It is particularly effective in older properties with suspended timber floors, where cold air circulates freely beneath the floorboards.

Insulation can be fitted from below (through a cellar or crawl space) or from above by lifting floorboards. For solid concrete floors, rigid insulation boards can be laid on top. The result is a noticeably warmer floor surface and reduced energy consumption.
