Re: Polystyrene insulation 9May 21, 2011 1:08 pm Hey Sarah, I just spent the better part of last week under the house fitting the expol polystyrene sheets to the underside of our floor. We couldn't be happier with the results. They are really easy to fit, we have no more cold drafts coming up through the gaps between boards, and the flooring (old cypress) stays a comfortable temperature due to the air pocket the insulation provides. Where we used to have the heater on all night till bed, now we have it on for maybe an hour at most and the whole house stays warm, and this is in a 60's fibro dump with no insulation in the walls or ceiling! Highly recommended! Hey guys building a new place through a volume builder and just wondering if i should complain to the site supervisor as we just had plasterboard installed. Looks like… 0 11273 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6200 |
