Floor insulation

Have you noticed cold coming up from your crawl space? Then floor insulation is a good solution for you. Floor insulation improves comfort and the living/working climate. In addition, floor insulation is also recommended if you have underfloor heating. With underfloor heating, the mass of the floor is heated. If the floor is not insulated, the heat radiates into the crawl space, causing a significant part of the heat to be lost. When the floor is insulated, the heat will remain in the floor longer and radiate upwards.

You have a wooden floor:

The wooden floor is insulated in 2 steps. First, a foil is attached under the floor, then EPS beads are placed between the wooden beams. This form of insulation has a very high insulation value, namely: 3.95 m2K/w. The new construction standard is now legally set at a minimum insulation value of 3.7 m2K/w. After insulating, your wooden floor has reached its new construction value!

You have a concrete floor:

Insulating a concrete floor can be done in two ways, which way is best in your situation depends on the type of concrete floor you have. When the floor is flat at the bottom, it is often advisable to work with hard insulation boards. If you have a sandwich floor, it may be more advisable to use PUR insulation. With hard insulation boards, the final insulation value depends on the thickness of the insulation material. With PUR an insulation value of 3.6 m2K/w is achieved.

The costs for insulating the crawl space are relatively low. However, the price obviously depends on the accessibility of the crawl space and any obstacles in the crawl space. Would you like to know exactly what the costs are in your situation? Then request a tailor-made quote without obligation!

As an indicative price for using Neopixel HR++ beads, we use a m² price from €26 to €35.
