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.
