Three problems of uninsulated floors
  • Uninsulated timber floors feel cold and are one reason for high energy costs due to insufficient thermal resistance of the floorboards.
  • Drafts through leaky floorboards bring in cold, damp air pushing warm, heated air up to the ceiling.
  • Moisture rising from the ground diffuses easily through floorboards and most floor coverings, causing condensation problems inside the house.

Benefits of insulating
Effective underfloor insulation and ground moisture proofing saves heating costs and creates a healthier and more comfortable living environment by keeping feet and playing children warm, and preventing moisture rising from the ground to enter the building. Underfloor insulation can make a huge difference to the experienced comfort in your house because a warm floor will provide a more even vertical temperature distribution in your living space. We get cold feet easily, so a warm floor gives you better comfort than warm air around your head. Ground moisture proofing reduces condensation by preventing ground moisture ingression. Dry air costs less to heat than moist air.

3 products in 1
Air-Cell consists of a 7mm thick polymer bubble blanket in between two reflective foils. It offers all functions required for retrofitting suspended timber floors in one product.
  • Thermal insulation as a result of 97% reflection of heat radiation back into the home and thermal conductivity separation by the enclosed air-cells.
  • Draught stop as a result of no gaps in the insulation with all joins overlapped and airtight taped.
  • Ground moisture proofing - the foil surface acts as a vapour barrier.

    Effective insulator
    Air-Cell is the most effective underfloor insulation material for suspended timber floors. The R-Value of the floor system insulated with Air-Cell varies between R2.0 and R2.3 with a minimum 100mm air gap, depending on factors such as the flooring type, thermal bridges and still air spaces. Maximum thermal performance depends on creating a still air zone between the flooring and the insulation blanket which is stapled to the underside of the floor joists.
