Floor insulation

Insulating your ground floor is an effective method to maintain warmth within your property. Typically, it is only necessary to insulate the ground floor. In most cases, upper floors do not require floor insulation.


However, it is essential to consider insulating floors situated above unheated areas, such as garages, as substantial heat loss can occur through those spaces.

Floor insulation offers notable advantages with a considerable impact. If floors are inadequately insulated, approximately 10-20% of heat loss from a building can occur through them. As per the Energy Saving Trust, opting for floor insulation could result in energy bill savings ranging from £40 to £65.

 

Costs and savings

Typical installation costs of floor insulation vary depending on the size of your home and the type of flooring present currently at the property.

The cost of a standard suspended floor installation might amount to approximately £4300, subject to specific conditions. However, solid floor insulation expenses could be significantly higher.

Potential Savings:

  • Improved Heat Retention Proper house insulation prevents heat loss as heat tends to rise. Check your home for any drafts and consider floor insulation to eliminate them. Additionally, think about loft insulation to seal gaps, like those around loft hatches, to avoid hot air leaking into the cold roof space. Combining floor and loft insulation prevents rapid heat loss through floors and saves you money on energy bills.
  • Cost Savings Insulating suspended timber floors effectively can result in cost savings, helping some individuals avoid or alleviate fuel poverty. As you retain more heat inside your home with floor and roof insulation, your energy consumption decreases, leading to reduced bills while maintaining a warm and cozy house.
  • Low-Maintenance Once installed, floor insulation requires little to no maintenance, giving you peace of mind and long-term savings.
  • Futureproofing Many older houses lack floor insulation since it wasn't a standard feature during construction. By investing in floor insulation, you can bring your house up to modern standards and improve your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings.
