POLYSTYRENE UNDERFLOOR INSULATION

What are the benefits of Polystyrene Underfloor Insulation?

Exceptional Thermal Performance: Polystyrene provides a high R-value, offering excellent thermal resistance to reduce heat loss through the floor and maintain stable indoor temperatures.

Moisture Resistance: Being naturally water-resistant, polystyrene is ideal for underfloor conditions, preventing moisture absorption and reducing the risk of mold or decay.

Durable and Long-Lasting: With its rigid structure, polystyrene insulation retains its shape and performance over time, making it a reliable solution for new builds with uniform spacings

Quick and Secure Installation: Pre-cut polystyrene panels fit snugly between joists and are easy to install so long as spacings are consistent, saving time and effort during construction.

Enhanced Energy Efficiency: By minimizing heat transfer, polystyrene insulation helps reduce energy consumption and lowers heating costs, making it an environmentally friendly choice for modern homes.

Where should you install Polystyrene Underfloor Insulation?

- Ideal for newer homes and new builds that have uniform joist spacings.  

How do you choose the right Polystyrene Underfloor Insulation?

- Select the appropriate thickness based on required R-value and available space

- Check for Easy Installation Features: Look for panels that are pre-cut to standard joist spacings or feature interlocking edges for a quicker and more secure installation process.

- - Ensure Fire Safety Compliance: Verify that the insulation meets New Zealand fire safety standards for underfloor applications, especially for homes with exposed subfloors - Underfloor insulation should have a fire retardant
