What are the benefits of Underfloor Insulation?
There are many benefits of insulating your home. You might not think about insulating under the floors, but it’s a proven way of reducing your energy bills and stop heat escaping by around 15%
Here are the main benefits to insulating the underfloors of your home:
Increased energy efficiency
Insulating the underside of your floor can help to reduce heat loss through the floor, meaning that you'll need less energy to heat your home. This can result in lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.
Improved comfort
Insulating your floor can also help to maintain a more consistent indoor temperature, meaning that your home will be more comfortable all year round. You'll also notice fewer cold spots and drafts, especially in rooms with hard flooring.
Reduced noise pollution
Underfloor insulation can help to reduce noise pollution from outside and between floors, which can be especially beneficial if you live in a noisy area or have noisy neighbors.
Moisture control
Insulating your floor can help to control moisture and dampness, which can help to prevent mold growth and reduce the risk of respiratory problems.
Increased property value
A well-insulated home can be more attractive to buyers, as they'll know that they'll be able to enjoy lower energy bills and greater comfort.
What is Underfloor Insulation?
Underfloor insulation is the process of adding insulation to the underside of the floorboards in a home or building. This type of insulation is typically used in homes with suspended timber floors, where there is a gap between the floorboards and the ground below.
It can be installed in a variety of ways, including using rigid insulation boards, flexible insulation batts, or spray foam insulation. The insulation material is placed between the floor joists and secured in place with clips or netting.

An uninsulated home can potentially have a negative impact on your health in several ways. A lack of insulation can lead to damp and mold growth, especially in areas with high humidity or moisture. Mold can cause respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and other health issues. Poor insulation can allow outdoor pollutants and allergens to enter your home, which can affect your indoor air quality and exacerbate respiratory problems such as asthma. Additionally, an uninsulated home can lead to colder indoor temperatures, which can increase the risk of cold-related illnesses such as hypothermia, frostbite, and respiratory infections.
Your home should be properly insulated to protect your health and well-being. Insulation helps to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, reduce moisture and dampness, and improve indoor air quality, all of which can have a positive impact on your physical and mental health. Insulation also helps to reduce your energy bills meaning you’ll be saving money on the running costs of your home for years to come.
Underfloor insulation should not affect the appearance of your property, as it is installed beneath the floor and not visible from the outside.
