Radiant Floor Insulation

Radiant floor heating is becoming more common in new home construction. There are many floor insulation options—concrete floor insulation (see our Under Slab Insulation page), under floor insulation, crawl space floor insulation, sub floor insulation, mobile home floor insulation, in floor heating insulation, hardwood floor insulation, insulation between floor joists, floating floor insulation, and even soundproof acoustic floor insulation, to name a few.

There are many aspects to consider with insulation for radiant floor heating. If you’re looking for cost-effective floor insulation or DIY floor insulation, reflective foil is a great option. Radiant floor heating is popular for many reasons: 

• Sub floor insulation creates a comfortable and warm floor that will have you walking barefoot all winter long.
• Air quality is improved because radiant heat does not stir dust particles or remove moisture from the air like traditional forced air systems.
• Radiant floor insulation is safe because it has no surface that could produce burns.
• Under floor insulation is also unobtrusive and environmentally conscious.

In order to receive all of these benefits of floor insulation, under floor insulation must be installed properly. Radiant heat—by its nature—will want to radiate in all directions, so it's important to use the right radiant floor heating product for your application. If you have any questions about your install, we'd be delighted to help!
