Floor insulation is a procedure that most owners of apartments or their cottages resort to sooner or later. High-quality thermal insulation is necessary for both warm wooden buildings and reinforced concrete or brick structures. This can be achieved in several ways: choosing labour-intensive insulation using previously widely used granulated slag or more modern materials, which include sprayed polyurethane foam.
Thermal insulation of the floor – why is it necessary?
There are several reasons for using floor insulation :
- From a practical point of view. This reason is of particular relevance for owners of their own houses or apartments located on the ground floor. The fact is that it is through the floor that more than 20% of the heat from the apartment is lost, which means that insulating the concrete floor of the first floor allows you to save energy resources and, as a result, reduce the cost of their consumption;
- in terms of comfort, a cold floor in the home can cause not only discomfort but also the development of serious diseases. High-quality thermal insulation of the floor in the house will help avoid problems for both adult family members and the youngest residents of the apartment, who spend most of their time playing on the floor.

The task of the specialists is to provide high-quality and, at the same time, reasonably affordable floor insulation in a panel or brick house, for which we use Ecotermix sprayed polyurethane foam. The ideal solution for thermal insulation of the ground floor using polyurethane foam is in old buildings, in which excessive load on a worn-out structure can lead to disruption of the building geometry. Sprayed thermal insulation is lightweight and dense and, forming a monolithic layer, not only does not load the building frame but also ensures its strengthening.

The advantages of insulating the first-floor floor with sprayed thermal insulation include the following:
- Speed of installation of the structure. In fact, the application of polyurethane foam cannot be called “installation” since, during spraying or pouring, two main components are mixed under pressure with further spraying onto the floor surface. The time required to complete work when using Ecotermix is reduced by 5-7 times, which is a record figure;
- No additional costs. Thermal insulation of the floor using polyurethane foam does not provide for different sound and waterproofing. In addition, in this case, it is possible to do without the use of all kinds of fasteners and unique preparation of the floor surface, which significantly reduces the cost of construction work.
- Ecotermix is a non-flammable, self-extinguishing material, so it is perfect for use as thermal insulation for wooden and heated floors on the first floor.
