Soffit Insulation

Soffit insulation is a specialist solution for insulating the underside of floors and ceilings. It is particularly crucial in exposed concrete soffits, such as basements and car parks.

What Is Soffit Insulation?

Soffit insulation boards are fixed directly to the underside of a floor slab or ceiling to create a continuous thermal barrier that limits heat leakage.

Typically manufactured from materials such as Phenolic or mineral fibre, a high-quality soffit insulation combines robust durability with low thermal conductivity.

What Is Soffit Board Insulation Used For?

Soffit board insulation is especially effective in environments where insulation from above isn’t practical, providing an effective solution without disturbing floors or interiors.

It is widely used across residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to:

• Improve thermal performance in car parks, basements, and ceiling voids.
• Prevent condensation and surface damp on exposed concrete soffits.
• Enhance efficient energy use by reducing downward heat transfer.
• Improve occupant comfort in rooms above cold spaces.
• Comply with UK Building Regulations (Part L) for thermal performance when correctly installed with appropriate fixings and finish.

Benefits Of Using Soffit Insulation Sheets

Using soffit insulation sheets is one of the most effective ways to enjoy:

• Outstanding thermal efficiency that restricts heat loss through exposed ceilings.
• Condensation control, which prevents moisture build-up and associated damage.
• Improved comfort as rooms above unheated areas stay warmer throughout the year.
• Robust protection, as many rigid soffit insulation boards resist impact and moisture.
• Smooth and clean appearance, allowing you to leave the insulation exposed or finish it decoratively.
• Quick and simple installation. The lightweight sheets are easy to handle and can be fixed directly to the soffit.
• Specific boards also offer enhanced fire resistance and acoustic performance.

FAQ

How to install soffit insulation

To install soffit insulation boards:

• Step 1: Clean and prepare the soffit surface.
• Step 2: Secure each board using mechanical fixings or approved adhesive.
• Step 3: Stagger board joints to minimise thermal bridging.
• Step 4: Seal edges and joints for a neat, continuous finish.
• Step 5: Check all fixings are secure and finish with decorative coating if required.

What is soffit insulation?

Soffit insulation is a layer of rigid thermal material fixed beneath a floor or ceiling to prevent heat loss through exposed soffits. It is particularly effective for car parks, cellars, and basement areas where heat transfer through concrete is a common problem.

Why do you need to use soffit insulation?

Without soffit insulation, heat escapes through unprotected floor slabs, making rooms above cold and less efficient. Installing soffit board insulation enhances comfort, helps buildings comply with energy regulations, and reduces running costs over time.
