Underfloor Insulation helps you keep about 25% of your home’s heat, without leaking to outside. Comfortable temperature levels affect our life quality to a greater extent, but keeping the heat trapped in your home is the biggest challenge of all. For example, your home’s temperature changes in two ways — inside heat leaks to the outside, and outside heat invades your home. And, this temperature-transferring process is a never-ending one. A fraction of homeowners yet haven’t install Underfloor Insulation; they focus on alternatives or other methods to preserve the heat. Anyway, thermal barriers are the most reliable option, and we don’t suggest any replacements for it.
What can you think of apart from Underfloor Insulation? Your home’s floor is the platform that you walk on every day. The platform on the ground level is the structural element that gets affected by environmental temperature fluctuations to a greater extent. As a homeowner, what other methods you have already tried? Well, you can use other methods along with Underfloor Insulation for optimal results, but relying only on alternatives isn’t advisable or practical. Anyway, let’s discuss a few things that you may do to control temperature flow through the floor. Using a thick carpet; this is one method that many homeowners try today. Yes, this might keep your feet warm, but is it enough? The cold that invades your home through the floor should get blocked by a thermal barrier within the underfloor compartment. Or, even solid floors should have a barrier that prevents cold invading your home and heat leaking through it.
A carpet won’t stop any of these heat flowing methods; it only keeps your feet warm, which is a temporary solution. In other words, through the carpet, temperature leaking and invading take place 24 hours a day. Underfloor Insulation, on the other hand, acts as a thermal barrier from within the underfloor compartment. Or, it shields solid floors to a greater extent; hence temperature flows won’t take place through it. A regular carpet doesn’t have air pockets to trap air. A rug is only a general material that adds personality to your home. In summary, no rugs/carpets can replace Underfloor Insulation, what so ever.
If your home’s floor is freezing during winter; you will tend to wear shoes or slippers to protect your feet from it. Is it a convenient or permanent solution? Cold feet leads to many health issues, especially in kids and elderly citizens. What we say — you can try those DIY methods with Underfloor Insulation, but if you protect your home’s floors with a reliable thermal barrier set; you don’t require any of it. Walls, roof, and floors are the structural elements that contribute to heat gain and losses in vast amounts during winter and summer, and doors and windows also up to a certain extent. How does insulation protect me from cold and heat? Well, this a common question that many first-time homeowners who install insulation in their homes ask from us.
Underfloor Insulation is a dual-purpose material that prevents temperature fluctuations that take place due to heat gains and losses. So, everything gets covered by it. In other words, you don’t need to worry about summer heat or winter cold here. A considerable percentage of Australian homeowners don’t use heaters and air conditioners throughout the year thanks to Underfloor Insulation!
