Underfloor Insulation
Overview & Benefits
Underfloor insulation is a critical aspect of enhancing your home’s energy efficiency by preventing heat loss through the floor. This type of insulation is installed beneath your floorboards or between the joists to create a barrier that keeps your home warmer, reduces energy bills, and improves overall comfort.
At ECO4-Grants & Services, we offer expert underfloor insulation solutions that help you maximize your home’s energy potential while benefiting from the ECO4 grant scheme.
Reduced Heat Loss
Underfloor insulation prevents heat from escaping through the floor, helping to maintain a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature. This reduces the need for excessive heating and makes your home more energy-efficient.
Lower Energy Bills
By improving insulation under your floors, you can significantly cut down on your heating costs. This is because your heating system will need to work less to maintain the desired temperature, leading to lower energy bills.
Increased Comfort
Proper insulation helps eliminate cold drafts and cold spots in your home, providing a more even and comfortable living environment throughout the year.
Moisture Control
Insulating under your floor can help control moisture levels, reducing the risk of dampness and associated issues like mold growth and structural damage.

Types of Underfloor Insulation and Materials Used
Rigid Insulation Boards
Rigid insulation boards are dense panels placed between floor joists or under floors. They provide high thermal performance and durability. Benefits: Excellent thermal insulation, long-lasting, and easy to install. Ideal for spaces with standard floor joist spacing.
Foil-Backed Insulation
Foil-backed insulation consists of insulation material with a reflective foil layer. This layer reflects heat back into the room, enhancing the overall efficiency of the insulation. Benefits: Boosts thermal performance, especially in areas with existing insulation, and provides additional moisture protection.
Spray Foam Insulation
Spray foam insulation expands on application to fill gaps and voids, creating a high-performance insulating barrier. Benefits: Highly effective in irregular spaces, seals gaps and cracks, provides superior thermal resistance, and is moisture-resistant.
