They are very versatile and can be used to almost any type of flooring including solid concrete floors block floors and suspended timber floors and are an ideal solution for floating floor insulation.
Floating timber floor insulation.
Suspended timber floors located above an unheated space where the insulation is installed below the floorboards or timber decking timber floors situated above an unheated integral garage.
The first is what lies under your floor.
As upper mentioned the floating floor construction includes a number of layers carefully stacked up on top of each other.
Interior wood framed floor insulation.
All ground floor constructions unless very large commercial floors will require some insulation to be included within the floor zone to comply with building regulation requirements.
If your wood floor is laid on beams then one solution would be to lift the old floor and to place either chip board underneath together with a suitable insulating underlay or to place mineral wool insulating material between the beams before re laying your floor.
Previously floor timbers had been prone to damp and rot thanks to their direct contact with the moist ground.
