Prevent heat from escaping through the ground and eliminate cold draughts. Upgrading your floor insulation is a crucial step for a warmer, more comfortable home from the ground up.
Insulation
Floor insulation involves installing a thermal barrier beneath your floorboards or within your concrete slab. Because uninsulated floors can account for up to 15% of a home’s total heat loss, this upgrade significantly improves your home’s ability to retain heat, creating a comfortable barrier between your living space and the cold ground.
Installation Methods
The right insulation approach depends entirely on your home’s construction type:
Suspended Timber Floors: Insulation (such as mineral wool or rigid boards) is fitted securely between the floor joists, preventing cold air from rising from the void below.
Solid Concrete Floors: Rigid insulation boards are laid over the existing concrete slab, or integrated during a floor replacement, and topped with a new screed.
If you are considering upgrading to an air-to-water heat pump or installing underfloor heating, high-quality floor insulation is an absolute prerequisite. It ensures the heat generated is directed upwards into your living room rather than being lost into the earth.
Work must be completed by an SEAI-registered contractor to qualify for this funding.
