Notice the Difference in Comfort & Savings With Underfloor Insulation
Drastically reduce excess energy loss within your home by insulating your underfloor. Working with our insulation installers means keeping the floor of your home warm, comfortable, and quiet year-round. Operating Tasmania-wide.
The problem with Tassie underfloors
If you own an older Tasmanian home, there’s a good chance you have hardwood floors on raised foundations. Then you’ll also know how uncomfortable icy floorboards can be, or what it’s like to feel a cold gust of air coming through the gaps. An underfloor that is uninsulated or insulated with a non-compliant installation can quickly turn into a serious problem. Left unchecked, it reduces your home’s comfort and sends your energy bills skyrocketing.
Our team will always recommend assessing your home’s underfloor as a first priority and this is why. A study from the University of Tasmania found that homes with raised timber floors require a massive 40–60% more energy to maintain the same indoor temperature as homes built on concrete. To put this into perspective, if your annual energy bill is $2,000, around $550 to $750 of that could be due solely to the fact that your home is built on raised timber flooring instead of concrete.
Energy efficiency at your feet
Spray foam insulation is a proven, long-lasting solution to convert a leaky underfloor into a thermally efficient barrier. Our team uses industry-leading technology and equipment to eliminate draught spots, improve comfort, and cut your energy bills.
Our Australian-made spray foam creates a concrete-like barrier that prevents heat from seeping out during winter while blocking unwanted heat from entering during summer. This means you’ll enjoy a cosy, well-insulated underfloor regardless of the season. Above all, it means drastically less wasted heating and cooling energy, adding up to potentially thousands in long-term savings.
The key benefits
Lower Energy Bills
With data proving that homes on raised timber flooring use 40-60% more energy than those built on concrete, adequate underfloor insulation is critical. It stops heat loss in the winter, and heat gain in the summer, keeping your entire home comfortable year-round.
Blocked Draughts
It eliminates draughts by creating an air-tight seal under your underfloor. This can also protect your family from harmful pollutants and allergens entering your home.
Noise Reduction
Spray foam’s noise-dampening capabilities make it excellent for privacy. This helps minimise disruptive echoes and noise transmission between rooms. This means round-the-clock peace, quiet, and calm.
Reduced Creaks
Insulating your underfloor with spray foam can help stabilise and lock your floorboards in place. This helps minimise disruptive and annoying squeaks.
Strength & Protection
It drastically improves the strength of your floor and has excellent weatherproofing capabilities. Spray foam is also the leading choice for flood-resistant forms of insulation.
Pest Barrier
Spray foam’s strength and airtight seal can block out even the smallest of pests from accessing your home through your underfloor to help keep your living space rodent and insect-free.
HOW DOES IT WORk?
What to expect
At Spray Foam Insulation Tasmania, we understand every project comes with a unique set of challenges. That’s why we take the time to understand your needs and desired results. Above all, our team values honesty and integrity – we’ll never suggest a solution unless we’re confident it’s right for you.
Brief Chat
All of our residential insulation projects start with a quick conversation with one of our friendly staff members. We’ll ask you a few questions about your home, including what current forms of insulation you have, issues with heating your home, and if you’re noticing draughts etc. Our staff member will then typically email you a few informational PDF brochures along with our pricing structures.
Don’t hesitate to contact us again if you have any more questions or would like to discuss your options!
Thermal Performance Assessment
Next, we’ll inspect your entire home with our state-of-the-art thermal imaging camera. This allows us to precisely identify draught spots, defective insulation, and inadequately insulated sections of your living space.
Thermal imaging is quick, accurate, and gives our team complete confidence that we’re addressing your home’s most critical areas.
Electrical Compliance
It’s the law to assess your home first by a Licenced Electrician before applying insulation to a living space. We thoroughly evaluate all potential electrical risks during planning and installation. For example, when applying insulation, cables must be provided with enough space to dissipate heat. An improper installation can result in inconvenient circuit tripping or, worse, cause a fire.
Our team members are licenced Electrical Contractors (LIC# 871947842) to ensure every installation aligns with residential construction legislation.
Insulate your Underfloor
Once all checks have been ticked off, our team will thoroughly insulate your underfloor. When it comes to underfloor insulation projects, our preferred method of insulation is spray foam insulation due to its ability to block cold draughts, improve heat retention and strength, and reduce annoying squeaking. This process typically takes about 6 to 7 hours to complete.
It’s important to note that every home is different and comes with its own unique set of requirements. This means we may recommend alternatives depending on what we’ve uncovered during the checks.
Quality Control
Once completed, we validate our work with our thermal imaging tool. This ensures our team has addressed all draught spots, and we’ve insulated your home to the highest standards!
