Underfloor Insulation Canberra & ACT
Polyester underfloor insulation delivered to Canberra homes
If you live in Canberra, you do not need us to explain that floors can get cold.
Canberra homes with suspended timber floors can lose a lot of comfort through the floor, especially during those sharp ACT winters when the cold seems to come from every possible direction, including underneath you.
Underfloor insulation helps create a thermal barrier beneath your floorboards, reducing heat loss through the floor and making your home feel more comfortable underfoot. And a much better chance that your heating is warming your home, not the great outdoors under it.
DIY underfloor insulation for Canberra homes
Underfloor Insulation Australia supplies premium polyester underfloor insulation for DIY installation in Canberra and across the ACT.
Our polyester underfloor insulation is designed to be installed between timber floor joists, snug against the underside of the floorboards and securely stapled into place. This matters because underfloor insulation only works properly when it stays where it belongs.
For Canberra and ACT customers, we supply CSR Polymax polyester underfloor insulation.
Polymax is a premium polyester underfloor insulation product manufactured in Sydney and supplied to Canberra via the CSR network.
At this stage, Canberra orders are delivered directly to your home. Collection from the CSR Hume depot is not available due to the safety risks of private vehicles moving through a working depot with heavy truck movements.
Where do we deliver?
We can arrange delivery of your underfloor insulation order to Canberra and surrounding ACT areas, including Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong, Weston Creek, Woden Valley and nearby suburbs. Canberra depot will also deliver well outside of Canberra, including Braidwood, Batemans Bay, Bredbo (and other towns that don’t start with ‘B’).
Is my home suitable for underfloor insulation?
Underfloor insulation is suitable for many homes with suspended timber floors, but the subfloor needs to be safe and accessible.
Before ordering, check:
- you have enough room to move safely under the house
- the ground is reasonably dry
- there is no obvious mould, rot or major damp issue
- there is no exposed or unsafe wiring
- there are no obvious asbestos risks
- pipes, ducts and other obstructions can be worked around
- the floor joists are accessible for stapling
If your subfloor looks like somewhere you would not willingly send someone you like, pause and investigate before ordering.
How to work out how much insulation you need
You will need two main measurements:
- the approximate area of the floor you want to insulate
- the spacing between your floor joists
Once you know your floor area and joist spacing, we can help you work out how many packs you need.
If measuring makes your brain quietly leave the building, do not panic. We have a simple measuring guide that walks you through it step by step.
What else will I need?
To install underfloor insulation yourself, you will usually need:
- polyester underfloor insulation
- suitable galvanised staples
- a staple gun
- protective clothing
- a head torch or work light
- a cutting tool
- patience
- a trusted assistant who can pass things down and offer moral support from above, or will cuddle up with you under the floor
We can arrange galvanised staples to be posted to you, which makes the whole process easier.
You should also watch our installation videos before you start so you understand how the insulation is positioned, stapled and worked around common subfloor obstacles.
