In our other blog posts on how to insulate a suspended timber floor, we described "Method 1", where the floorboards and skirting boards are removed. As it is not always possible to remove the floor coverings and floorboards, we have developed a second method in which insulation and the airtightness products are installed from underneath. All you need is access to the crawl space and enough room under there to complete the installation.
