Installing floor insulation can improve energy efficiency and reduce unwanted noise levels from the space above by up to eight times. The rock wool board product line includes dual-density and single-density rock wool products with impressive thermal performance that prevents heat from escaping through floor and ceiling spaces. How floor insulation can be applied to a variety of floor applications, from intermediate floors and floating floors to suspended ground floors. Other solutions can also be found under our ceiling insulation page.
Why do we need floor insulation?
The floors of buildings are conductors of sound and heat transmission. This can cause long-term problems for occupants and owners, such as annoying noise, high energy bills and colder living conditions. These problems are becoming increasingly common. By many years in the future, the places we live may be heavily urbanized, and after urbanization, noise sources will become more numerous, so it is necessary to use rock wool boards for sound insulation. And for insulation, different floor types also require unique insulation solutions to help improve their energy efficiency. These include:
Suspended ground floors, floors suspended above crawl spaces, require higher insulation performance boards due to the high risk of heat loss. Floor-to-ground, ground floor or basement floors in direct contact with the ground, prone to heat loss, require sturdy insulation materials to improve thermal performance. Intermediate (separating) floors - floors between floors, rock wool board insulation materials need to adapt to installation between floor joists. Floating floors, require insulation to improve acoustic performance while maintaining the load-bearing capacity of the floor. Properly insulating floors below, in between, or on top of wooden, metal or concrete structures helps overcome these obstacles.
