Concrete floors
Floor Insulation is easier to install during the construction process, so it is important to get it
right from the start. Most new homes are built on Concrete foundations. It is essential that the
floor slab is well insulated against cold and damp. As well as the waterproof membrane, which is
a prerequisite for all floor slabs, there is usually an insulating filler placed between the slab
and the waterproof membrane.
You can choose from a range of flooring systems on the market that give you the necessary amount of
insulation in the floor slab. You can increase its efficiency by insulating the edges as well.
This will prevent lateral heat loss, which in turn will help maintain an ambient slab temperature.
Timber floors
Houses built on piles or poles require other forms of insulation for the floor. One of the main
differences between slab foundations and piled foundations is airflow. AbsoluteEnergy can offer
advice on which insulation options are suitable depending on the site and design of your house.
