No Canberra home needs to have uncomfortable floors… ever.
Spray foam insulation (SPF) is a spray-applied insulation that is widely used to insulate buildings and seal cracks and gaps, making the building more energy efficient and comfortable.
SPF insulation is known to resist heat transfer extremely well and it offers a highly effective solution in reducing unwanted air infiltration through cracks, seams and joints.
Why spray foam instead of installing batts under your floorboards?
There are a number of reasons why, one of the most important being that floor insulation should not be measured in “R Value” alone.

| Protects against convective heat loss (draughts) | No | Yes |
| Resistant to moisture that can reduce thermal performance? | No | Yes |
| Guaranteed not to sag/fall away over time? | No | Yes |
| Prevents rodents from nesting? | No | Yes |
| Protection from heat loss via ‘windwash’ | No | Yes |
| Provides an air tight seal to prevent infiltration | No | Yes |
| Provides an air tight seal to prevent infiltration of dust and contaminants from the sub floor. | No | Yes |

Benefits of Floor Insulation
NO MORE DRAUGHTS
Insulation and draught sealing in one.
CREATE AN AIRTIGHT SEAL…
Heat rises, so why worry about insulating the floor? Yes it is true, heat rises, and will move to the top of your house, however the convection will continue to bring the cold air from outside up through the floorboards and continue to cool the house down. What our high-performance spray foam insulation does is create an airtight seal.
AN END TO SQUEAKY FLOORS
Spray foam insulation eliminates all the squeaks.
NO MORE NOISY FLOORBOARDS…
High-performance spray foam insulation under your floors creates a perfect airtight seal under your home but one of the other major benefits to installing this product is that you will forever eliminate noisy or squeaky floorboards. Prepare yourself for comfortable warm floorboards in the winter months that are just as quiet to walk on.
THE HEALTHY CHOICE
An airtight seal means no irritants coming through the floorboards.
NO MORE DUST…
Having gaps in your floorboards means dust and other irritants can easily blow into your home from the gap under the floor aggravating allergies and causing discomfort. By installing high-performance spray foam insulation not are you only creating warm, quiet floorboards but the airtight seal means you lock out these unwanted irritants.
NO SAGGING BATTS
Spray foam insulation adheres directly to the underside of the floor.
SPRAY FOAM STICKS AND STAYS…
If you have batts installed under your floorboards they will more than likely begin sagging over time reducing the insulation and still leaving gaps under the floor. Unlike batts that will sag, high-performance spray foam insulation adheres directly to the underside of the floorboards and will create a airtight seal under your home for life.

Our Clients Love us
We could feel the difference in temperature the day after the ceiling insulation went in and it does such a good job keeping the house cooler on hot days. We look forward to the house being much easier to keep warm when winter rolls around too. The ducted AC unit that was recommended to us works really well, is very quiet and the controller is easy to use or can be controlled with an app.
Would definitely recommend Alexander Watson, they know their stuff.
Insulation is excellent but the service and staff are what you pay for, they're all super friendly and helpful.
Insulation went smoothly over 2 days, you get what you pay for, premium service and super nice staff.
4 months post install we had an issue with a leak from the condensation pipe of our aircon in the roof, hadn't turned it on since insulation was installed so wasn't aware.
Wally from AWI came out 2 days later and fixed it on the spot.
Always a warm reception when calling, after instal service is amazing. Can't recommend enough.
To be honest, the experience was not a great one.
First point to raise is the constant email replies from different admin stuff. After correspondence with one team member, the following reply would be from a different team member. I found this frustrating. And then that new team member has not read the previous email (this would also be in a working day time frame).
Now the point to raise is of quality of work, they had only cleaned approx 80% of the ceiling, they spent 2 days (a Thursday and Friday). I know this because I cleaned the remaining missed areas including removing old batts on my Saturday so I could lay the insulation properly myself. If I hadn’t of laid the insulation myself and Alexander Watson returned to re-install, then I feel the missed areas would still remain and they would just install over the top. Additionally approx 6 tiles were broken, and they were only siliconed back together.
Now after email correspondence, and I assume with the manager, being told as a customer I should of raised my concerns on the Saturday so this company can return to do a quality check, I feel this should of been done at the workers level before they would of left the job site, then possibly another senior team member should of visited the job site post completion to confirm the work is done. This process has failed from the lowest part of the team. I’ll attach photos to this review.
Now we have both come to an agreement to a reduction in the invoiced amount.
