Underfloor Insulation Services
Our Service
Spray foam insulation is the optimum solution for under floor insulation because it provides a high R-value, a vapour barrier and seals cracks and crevices.
Spray foam is excellent for use as an underfloor insulator and has several key advantages over conventional insulation solutions. Our applicators are trained and qualified to work in confined spaces, so we can install insulation in some of the more difficult-to-access spaces.
Description: Underfloor Insulation
When it comes to keeping your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, insulation is key. Without it, your energy bills could skyrocket – and your comfort levels could plummet. Underfloor insulation is essential since heat can easily escape through the floor. One of the best solutions for underfloor insulation is spray foam insulation.

FAQ: Spray Foam Underfloor Insulation
What is spray foam insulation?
Spray foam insulation is a type of insulation made from a combination of polyurethane and isocyanate. When mixed, these components expand and harden into a foam that fills gaps and creates a seamless, airtight barrier. This insulation is applied by spraying it onto the surface, making it ideal for underfloor insulation.
Why should I choose spray foam insulation for my underfloor?
Spray foam insulation offers several advantages for underfloor insulation:
No Sagging: Unlike traditional batt insulation, spray foam maintains its position and effectiveness over time, ensuring consistent thermal resistance.
High R-Value per Millimetre: It provides excellent insulation with less material, making it efficient and cost-effective.
Seals Cracks and Gaps: The foam expands to fill all gaps, preventing air leaks and reducing heat loss.
Acts as a Vapour/Moisture Barrier: It naturally prevents moisture penetration, protecting against mould and maintaining indoor air quality.
What are the benefits of using closed cell foam for insulation?
Closed cell foam, a type of polyurethane foam, offers several benefits, including superior thermal insulation, moisture resistance, and structural reinforcement. It is denser and provides a higher R-value per inch compared to open cell foam, making it an excellent choice for insulation in New Zealand varied climate.
How does spray foam insulation prevent heat loss?
Spray foam insulation prevents heat loss by creating a continuous, airtight barrier under your floor. This barrier stops warm air from escaping and cold air from entering, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
Can spray foam insulation help reduce energy bills?
Yes, by improving the thermal efficiency of your home, spray foam insulation reduces the need for heating and cooling, which can lead to significant savings on energy bills over time.
Does spray foam insulation help with noise reduction?
Yes, spray foam insulation also acts as a sound barrier, helping to reduce noise levels from outside or between floors in your home.
What are the moisture protection benefits of spray foam underfloor insulation?
Spray foam insulation acts as a natural vapour barrier, preventing moisture from penetrating your floors. This protects against potential damage, such as mould growth, which can affect both the structure of your home and your health.
What are the building standards for underfloor insulation?
Current building standards require underfloor insulation in residential properties to have a minimum R-value of 1.3. Spray foam insulation can meet this standard with just 28mm of foam, making it a highly efficient option.
How does underfloor insulation improve comfort in my home?
By preventing draughts and cold spots, underfloor spray foam insulation helps maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature throughout your home, improving overall comfort.
How do I get started with spray foam underfloor insulation?
To get started, contact a professional insulation provider like NZAS, who are fully trained and equipped to install high-quality spray foam underfloor insulation. They can assess your needs and ensure that the insulation is installed effectively to maximize its benefits.
Is spray foam underfloor insulation environmentally friendly?
Yes, by reducing the amount of energy needed to heat and cool your home, spray foam insulation helps lower your carbon footprint, contributing to a more environmentally friendly household.
