Expol Underfloor Insulation
If your home has suspended timber floors, chances are you are losing about 20% of your home’s heat through the floor.
When most home-owners think of insulation, they focus on walls and ceilings, but underfloor insulation in existing homes is just as important in maintaining a comfortable temperature for you and your family all year round.
If you retrofit underfloor insulation, it is the most effective way to insulate your existing home to stop heat from entering in summer and escaping in winter. Placed snugly between the floor joists polystyrene underfloor insulation will ensure your home is protected from the extreme temperatures under your floor.
Expol underfloor insulation has excellent thermal properties as it consists mainly of stabilised air. It is safe to install, non-allergenic, and contains a flame retardant. Plus, its thermal performance is not affected by ageing, and contains no CFCs.

EXPOL UNDERFLOOR INSULATION BENEFITS
- Thermal resistance – Foam underfloor insulation is made from expanded polystyrene (EPS) panels, which are highly thermally resistant and resist heat transfer. This is partly due to the millions of tiny air bubbles within the foam insulation structure, and as air is a poor conductor of heat, it is highly effective.
- Do-it-yourself floor insulation – Unlike some underfloor insulation products, Expol has been designed for DIYers or professionals. A DIY homeowner could install Expol underneath their existing home in a weekend. All that’s required is to measure up, cut to fit, install the foam panels, fix with fittings, and place wireguard around cables.
- Mould prevention – EPS is also moisture resistant because the foam is already compacted, making it difficult for moisture to penetrate it. This makes EPS an excellent solution for preventing mould from developing.
- Meet Standards – Expol insulating panels comply with the Australian Standard (AS/NZS 4859.1: 2002) and meet the minimum R-Value specified under the Building Code of Australia.
- Range of sizes – Expol underfloor insulation by Foamex is available in a range of sizes to fit different-width floor joists.
- 50-year warranty – Comes with a 50-year limited product warranty and conforms to the minimum thermal resistance rating, with an R-value of 1.4 or 1.8 for timber floors.
- Widely available – Expol underfloor insulation is available at leading home hardware retailers across Australia.
