Suspended Floor Insulation TP10/TF70/TW55

Properly fitted suspended floor insulation helps keep interior spaces warm. It is made for use in any buildings with timber or beam-and-block floors, including modern buildings and period homes. These floors are exposed to an air void beneath them and can lose up to 15% of a property’s heat if left uninsulated.

What is suspended floor insulation?

Also known as underflow insulation for timber or beam-and-block floors, suspended flooring insulation is positioned between the joists of a suspended floor. These floors have an air gap underneath that causes them to lose heat.

Without insulation, that empty space acts like a cold bridge (a pathway that lets heat escape), causing draughts to rise into the room above. When you fit insulation underneath or between joists, the insulation forms a barrier that keeps heat inside.

What is suspended floor insulation used for?

Underfloor insulation for timber floors effectively reduces the amount of heat lost through suspended floors. It is ideal for:

• For installation between joists in older buildings with timber floors.
• New builds that aim to fulfil Building Regulations for energy performance.
• Retrofit projects where you want more comfort and efficiency, but don’t want to replace the whole floor.

Types of suspended floor insulation

Insulation for suspended floors is available in two main types: rigid panels and soft insulation slabs. Both options are available in our suspended floor insulation collection.

Rigid Insulation Boards

Made from materials like PIR, XPS, or EPS for lighter applications where cost-efficiency matters, rigid boards offer excellent compressive strength and thermal efficiency. They are perfect for floors that need to handle higher loads or where a precise fit is required between joists.

Soft Insulation Slabs or Insulation Rolls

Soft insulation slabs and rolls are lightweight, flexible and quick to install. Usually made from glass or mineral wool, they fit tightly between joists. This insulation is excellent at reducing heat loss and sound transfer and is therefore ideal for uneven or older timber floors.

Both underfloor insulation suspended floor boards and flexible slabs deliver reliable, long-term performance. Choose rigid boards for strength and stability, or soft slabs and rolls for flexibility and sound control.
