I have assessed or installed many (probably thousands) of Auckland homes. After assessing the underfloor insulation of so many high-value Auckland homes, my recommendation is regularly to “SupaCharge” the underfloor. Customers rightly ask – Why Mike?
My simple answer is; Why would you not?
We all know how great native timber floors look once they’ve had the carpet removed and a coat of varnish applied, but you do reduce the thermal performance. Insulating your underfloor with a high-performance R2.6, R2.8 or even R3.6 underfloor insulation is a fantastic option. When compared to the industry standard R1.5 rating that is commonly used for underfloors, the performance we offer is nearly double. Upgrading your insulation will add value to your home as well.
Sadly, NZ falls well behind world standards when it comes to insulation. For example, the current NZBC requirement for underfloor insulation is only R1.3. This is well behind the rest of the world and is also less than the current requirements for new homes walls in NZ. Let’s keep your toes and whole-house performing better! This is a very small additional cost and reduces the home’s energy waste for decades.
Going back to my original question; Why supercharge my underfloor insulation?
A SupaCharged underfloor insulation will:
- Improve your home to a level closer to international standards
- Add value to your home
- It Will help reduce your energy waste
- And it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!
