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 |

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.
