Solid Floors

Insulation that works from the ground up

Insulating a solid floor involves adding a layer of insulation either above or below the existing concrete base to prevent heat loss through the ground. In most cases, this is done by laying high-performance insulation boards over the floor slab, followed by a damp-proof membrane and a new screed. This method significantly improves energy efficiency, reduces heating costs, and makes your home warmer and more comfortable all year round.

WHY CHOOSE US

Here's what sets us apart:

  • Reduced heat loss

    Without insulation, up to 10% of a home’s heat can escape through the floor. Insulation creates a barrier that traps warmth inside, keeping your home cosy for longer.

  • Lower energy bills

    By preventing heat from escaping, your heating system doesn’t need to work as hard. This means lower fuel usage and noticeable savings on your monthly energy bills.

  • Increased comfort

    Cold concrete or tiled floors can make a room feel chilly even when the heating is on. With insulation in place, your floors stay warmer to the touch, making living spaces more comfortable year-round.

  • Noise reduction

    Insulation adds an extra layer of soundproofing, helping to absorb noise and create a quieter, more peaceful home.

  • Increased durability of flooring

    By reducing moisture from below, insulation helps protect timber, laminate and carpet finishes, extending their lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I insulate an existing solid floor, or is it only for new builds?

Yes, existing solid floors can be insulated, although it will involve lifting the current flooring. New builds allow insulation to be included from the start.

No, insulation works brilliantly on its own by reducing heat loss. However, if you do have or are considering underfloor heating, insulation makes the system far more efficient.

Yes, both new buildings and existing homes with solid concrete floors can be insulated. The approach may vary depending on your property, but there is usually a solution for every home.

While its primary purpose is thermal, floor insulation does add some noise reduction by absorbing sound through the floor.
