Insulation for Floors
Recticel supplies thermal floor insulation products suitable for all types of floors, whether in new construction or renovation. Our solutions help improve energy efficiency and support compliance with building regulations and sustainability goals.
Floor insulation is a vital element in improving the energy efficiency and comfort of a building. By limiting heat loss through the floor, it helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures and supports compliance with UK Building Regulations. In addition to enhancing thermal performance, floor insulation can contribute to long-term energy savings. Suitable for both new build projects and retrofit applications, it plays an essential role in delivering durable, sustainable, and energy efficient buildings.
The Impact of Floor Insulation on Heat Loss and Compliance
Heat can escape through uninsulated floors into the ground or unheated spaces, leading to unnecessary energy loss and reduced efficiency. This uncontrolled heat loss will compromise compliance with Part L of the UK Building Regulations and lower the overall performance of the building. Incorporating correctly specified floor insulation materials minimises downward heat flow, stabilises internal temperatures, and supports reduced operational energy demand. Accurate U-value calculations for insulated floor assemblies are essential to ensure regulatory compliance and long-term building energy efficiency.
How Can Recticel Floor Insulation Be Used in Different Construction Applications?
Recticel Insulation provides floor insulation solutions suitable for both solid and suspended floor applications. Our products can be installed below concrete slabs or screeds, fitted between joists in suspended timber floors, and used in floating floor systems. These versatile options support improved thermal performance and help meet building regulation requirements across a range of construction and renovation projects.
