Underfloor insulation
Timber floors over a crawl space lose heat downwards and feel cold underfoot. Insulating under the floor deals with both.
What it is
Underfloor insulation is batts or boards fitted between the floor joists from underneath, and held in place so they stay put.
It suits timber floors with a subfloor space. Concrete slabs are handled differently, at the design stage.
When it goes in
New build
On a new timber-floor home it goes in before the flooring is laid, or from below once the floor is down.
Building a new homeExisting home
Most homes with a crawl space can be insulated from below without lifting the floor, as long as there is enough room to get underneath.
