Polystyrene underfloor insulation
If you’re building a new home with a suspended timber floor, you should install underfloor insulation during the construction phase. New homes often include insulation in the ceiling and walls, but not all builders specify or suggest underfloor insulation, but they should.
Insulation fitted under your floor like Expol polystyrene sheets can be retrofitted, but it’s much easier to fit it while you’re building your new home or renovating your existing home than down the track.
Placed snugly between the floor joists, underfloor insulation will ensure your home is protected from the extreme temperatures under your floor. Under house insulation has excellent thermal properties as it consists mainly of stabilised air.

EXPOL TIMBER FLOOR INSULATION BENEFITS
- Superior thermal resistance – Timber floor insulation has a high thermal resistance and reduces heat transfer. This is due to the millions of air bubbles within the underfloor insulation foam, which is highly effective as air is a poor conductor of heat.
- Ideal for insulating a new home – New homes often include ceiling and wall insulation, but underfloor insulation is frequently overlooked. But as it is easier to install when a new home is being constructed, it’s the perfect time to include new home insulation.
- Mould resistant – Polystyrene underfloor insulation is resistant to moisture, as the foam is compacted, making it difficult for moisture to penetrate it.
- Australian Standards & Codes – Expol panels comply with the Australian Standard (AS/NZS 4859.1: 2002) and the minimum R-value specified under the Building Code of Australia.
- Size range – Foamex Expol underfloor insulation is available in several sizes to fit a variety of floor joist widths.
- 50-year limited warranty – Expol has a 50-year limited product warranty and meets the minimum thermal resistance rating, with an R-value of 1.4 or 1.8 for timber floors.
- Available widely – Expol underfloor insulation is available at many hardware retailers nationally.
- Recyclable – All Expol off-cuts are 100% recyclable, and the polystyrene panels contain up to 25% recycled content.
