Segments / Pads for Underfloor

SEGMENTS/PADS FOR UNDERFLOOR

What are the Benefits of Underfloor Segments/Pads?

  • Tailored Fit: Designed to fit snugly between joists, ensuring there are no gaps and reducing the risk of heat loss.

  • Efficient Installation for newer homes: Pre-cut segments or pads make installation quick and straightforward where floor joist spacings are consistent, minimizing waste and time

  • Enhanced Comfort: By reducing heat loss through the floor, underfloor segments and pads help maintain stable indoor temperatures, especially in winter.

  • Improved Energy Efficiency: Properly installed underfloor segments/pads can significantly lower heating bills by improving the thermal efficiency of your home.




Where should you install Underfloor Segments/Pads?

  • Under Suspended Timber Floors: Segments and pads are ideal for new homes with suspended timber floors, ensuring a snug fit between joists to create an effective thermal barrier.

  • In Areas with Consistent Joist Spacing: New builds often have uniform construction, making segments and pads a perfect solution for quickly and efficiently insulating underfloors.

  • In Hard-to-Access Zones: Even in new homes, there may be tight spaces or awkward subfloor areas where segments or pads are easier to install than roll-out blankets.




How do you choose the right Underfloor Segments/Pads?

  • Match the Product to Joist Spacing: Measure the spacing between joists to ensure the segments or pads fit snugly without gaps or the need for compression, which can reduce insulation effectiveness.

  • Select the Right R-Value: Choose segments or pads with an R-value that meets or exceeds your local building code requirements to ensure optimal thermal performance in your new home.

  • Opt for Moisture-Resistant Materials: Underfloors can be exposed to damp conditions, so select products designed to resist moisture and prevent mold or degradation over time.

  • Consider Installation Efficiency: For new builds, choose pre-cut or easy-to-handle segments and pads that streamline installation, saving time and labor costs.

  • Choose High-Quality, Durable Products: Prioritize insulation materials from trusted brands that are made to last, providing long-term energy efficiency and comfort for your new home.
