Benefits of Icynene for Underfloor Insulation

About Icynene

As much as 10% of heat is lost through uninsulated floors. This is warmth you’ve paid for when heating your home, so it’s a bit of an unwelcomed sting, and not worth leaving unaddressed. Underfloor insulation is often forgotten about, but, if it is, it impacts the effectiveness of the other efforts you’ve gone to insulating your home. There are many benefits of underfloor insulation. Find out if you need underfloor insulation, and why you should choose Icynene® spray foam.

What Types of Houses Are More Likely to Require Underfloor Insulation?

• Older houses – these are more likely to have suspended wooden floors. Insulation can be placed in the space under the floorboards to stop the heat-loss. Icynene® provides maximum thermal insulation.
• Modern homes – these often have concrete bases. If the insulation is under the concrete, heat could be stored during the day, keeping the room warm at night. Insulation above the concrete will warm the room up quicker in the morning.

Benefits of using Icynene® for Underfloor Insulation

• Save money! The better insulated your home is, the less heat you lose, meaning you don’t need to put your heating on so often – or for so long. Icynene® spray foam insulation can help you to save up to 50% on heating and cooling costs.
• Spray foam insulation under floor will prevent air-draughts between floorboards.
• Unlike polyfoam or fibreboard insulation, Icynene® is moisture-tight, ensuring your home won’t get damp.
• Solid floors, like concrete, need to be insulated using rigid insulation foam such as Icynene® closed cell insulation. The closed cell structure increases energy efficiency as it stops heat escaping.
