No, it’s not just a blanket

Our subfloor insulation works two ways:

Bulk Insulation:

We always use an insulation referred to as “bulk insulation”. That means that it’s a type of insulation that for one is bulky, but also it traps still air inside it to create its insulative qualities like R-value, and airflow reduction aka draught proofing.

Thermal resistance (R-value): 

The amount of resistance slows thermal flow (outdoor temperature)  through the floor construction, the higher the R-value, the better the resistance to heat transfer. That means less cold air rising through the floor in winter and fewer freezing toes. 

Airflow reduction: 

Properly installed subfloor insulation (and good draught sealing) reduces convective airflow in the subfloor cavity, limiting the chimney-like movement of air that drags conditioned air through the floor boards and out of your home.

Subfloor insulation attacks both the movement and the transfer of heat. It’s fixing the problem at its source, which is exactly what ThermaHome specialises in. 

That means:

Using appropriate R-values for your home to reduce temperature transfer. 

Think of subfloor insulation as giving your home a dignity upgrade: warm feet, cool head, and smaller power bills. ThermaHome lives under the floor, we install the right insulation, with the right R-value and workmanship, so your home stops acting like a sieve. 

Why ThermaHome? (we know floors)

Professional installation to avoid gaps, sagging, or airflow paths that negate the insulation’s benefit.

When subfloor insulation is done properly, you get a more even temperature distribution (no more cold toes), lower energy bills, and less wear on your aircon system. That’s comfort and savings, with a neat bow on top.

ThermaHome focuses on subfloor and ceiling insulation tailored to your home, and your needs.
