What is Under Floor Insulation?
Normally only ground floors need to be insulated, but any floors above unheated spaces (such as a garage) should be considered.
Under floor insulation can be installed to homes that have suspended timber floors by accessing the void space below the floor and installing insulation material between the floor joists from below. Homes that have a solid floor – most newer homes – can only be insulated when it needs to be replaced or by adding a new layer of rigid insulation on top of it.
Although access is required to the floor void through an access hatch, this causes relatively little disruption and will remain hidden once the installation has been completed.
Why Should I Insulate My Floors?
Insulating floors can prevent heat loss to the ground below and prevent cold draughts entering your home.

How Does Underfloor Insulation Work?
Underfloor Insulation works by using wool, held in place with netting. When installed, the wool covers the service area between the gap of structures creating a thermal seal, keeping heat within the lower level of the property, preventing cold air from rising up through the floor rising through the property into the loft or upper levels.
Some companies offer expandable foam as a solution. This isn’t a process we use at Green Home Systems as it may issues with insurances and damp within the household due to lack of ventilation.
