Retrofitting underfloor insulation is a great investment in your home which will improve your year round comfort and reduce your energy bills.
In Winter up to 20% of the heat loss in your home occurs through the floor.
Insulating your underfloors helps cocoon your home, preventing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Pairing it with quality ceiling insulation creates an even more energy-efficient home while also providing year round acoustic benefits.
As an investment you will need less heating and air conditioning to keep your home at a comfortable temperature, dramatically reducing your energy bills, and the rate at which your appliances need to work, extending their life.
A fully insulated home, compared to a home with no insulation, can save you up to 50% on your energy bills. Investing in complete home insulation Melbourne solutions is one of the most effective ways to improve comfort and reduce running costs. The inclusion of underfloor insulation to an otherwise insulated house can save between 10 – 20% of your energy bills through winter.
Our favourite underfloor insulation is the Australian Made Autex Greenstuff, a recycled polyester underfloor insulation product available in R2 and R2.5, which is fixed between the joists under your floors to prevent draughts from coming up through your floorboards.
