§        Creates effective Thermal mass

Properly insulating your slab-on-grade floors not only will help you save on energy bills, but will also improve your home's comfort. Cold concrete slabs can be a source of discomfort in a home.  In a well insulated home up to 50% of heat lost is through the floor. An insulated slab reduces heat loss, making it easier to heat. This reduction in heat loss helps moderate indoor temperatures.

Thermal mass will now become effective. It is the most cost effective way of incorporating thermal mass in your home. The thermal mass was always going to be there, it just needs insulating to make it effective.

An insulated floor will heat a house faster and reduce its running cost. The size of the heating system can be reduced and this will save initial start up costs.
