Benefits of Under Concrete Insulation
Insulating your home's concrete slab offers many benefits. Thanks to the insulation keeping the heat and cooling from escaping, you can expect the temperature in your home to be more stable. You won't have to constantly run your heat or air conditioning reducing your energy consumption and costs. Insulating your concrete slab also adds an extra layer of protection against the elements and strengthens it. Additionally, the layer of insulation helps keep radon from entering your home through the soil.
What Type of Insulation Should be Used for Concrete Slab Insulation?
Previously, the most popular materials utilized for concrete slab insulation were EPS and XPS foam boards. These boards are not always the best choice for insulating underneath concrete slabs. Because you need to place multiple boards side by side, there are joints between each board and don't always make a perfect fit. Additionally, if installed on an uneven surface, the foam boards can crack and shift apart. Due to all of these potential issues, Pruf LLC utilizes spray foam instead. With the spray foam, we are able to get a more complete seal because it molds to the surfaces around it.
Should You Insulate Under Your Concrete Slab?
Much like the stones around a fireplace, concrete absorbs and stores energy and heat which can heat up your home. Having insulation installed under your concrete slab helps separate the ground and the slab creating a passive energy source. Without under-slab insulation, your home's temperature will be greatly affected by the weather outside causing you to spend more on heating and cooling.
