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. Interior wood framed floor insulation. Rockwool offers stone wool insulation products to meet and exceed thermal regulations in floor constructions as well as solutions for separating floors to prevent heat transfer between the upper and lower floors. At the turn of the 18th century when construction techniques moved from boarded floors installed directly on the ground to suspended timber floors over a ventilated chamber the innovation solved a significant problem.

As upper mentioned the floating floor construction includes a number of layers carefully stacked up on top of each other. 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. 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.
