So, you’ve got a steel-framed underfloor and are wondering if it’s destined to remain the chilly underbelly of your otherwise cosy abode. Fear not! At ThermaHome, we specialise in transforming even the most stubborn steel underfloors into snug, energy-efficient spaces. Let’s delve into how we can make this happen.
The Cold Truth About Steel-Framed Floors
Steel is fantastic for structural integrity, but when it comes to thermal performance, it can be a bit of a cold fish. Unlike timber, steel joists can act as thermal bridges, allowing heat to escape more readily. This means your heating system has to work overtime to keep your home warm, leading to higher energy bills and a less comfortable living environment.
The Insulation Solution: Joisties to the Rescue!
Enter Joisties, an ingenious system designed to insulate steel-framed floors effectively. Joisties not only hold the insulation in place but also wrap around the steel joists, reducing thermal transfer. Think of them as cosy socks for your steel joists, preventing unwanted heat loss and keeping your floors pleasantly warm.
