Energy Efficiency & Lower Heating Costs

 

When it comes to improving the energy efficiency of your home, insulation isn't just helpful - it's essential. Uninsulated floors can account for up to 15% of a home’s total heat loss. If you imagine your house is like a box, we insulated the sides and the top of the box but not on top of the concrete! This is where heat loss will occur. With all four sides of the box insulated, the heat is trapped inside your living areas, meaning your heating system needs to run less often or at lower settings, you'll not just save money-you'll extend the life of your heating too.

Comfort, Warmer, More Even Indoor Temperatures

 

An uninsulated floor can feel cold underfoot even when the rest of the room is warm. This can lead to uneven temperature zones in the house and the need to overheat a room. With the insulation placed on top of the concrete foundation, the main benefit being is reaching the desired temperature faster and for longer resulting in more comfortable living.

 

​Health Benefits

 

The advantages of creating a well-insulated home are less condensation, less mold and mildew. Insulated floors help prevent moisture from rising into the home which are common triggers for asthma and allergies. Cold floors can lower your overall body temperature, increasing the risk of colds, flu, and circulation problems and can put strain on your joints and muscles. Warmer floors make it more comfortable to walk barefoot and improve general comfort.

 

 

Environmental Benefits
