Is it worth insulating a suspended floor?

Suspended floor insulation helps lower draughts while also minimising heat loss through the floor. Since our feet are sensitive to cold temperatures, floor insulation increases comfort levels by keeping the floor warm.

First off, you have to use a moisture impermeable layer on the ground on the suspended floor to limit the amount of moisture ingress. This is then followed by a polythene DPM with a concrete covering, similar to how a new solid floor structure is built.

Should you insulate between floor joists?

Yes. Insulating between the floor joists ensures minimal heat loss through the floor. This can be achieved using insulation boards or insulation slabs
