CHALLENGES

Insulate a new floor being installed in a residential house. The existing floor had been laid down directly on the ground without any insulation.
The new floor needed to improve the thermal comfort in the house and reduce heating costs.
There was not much space to insulate.

AEROGEL SOLUTION

An aerogel solution of 9 mm Spaceloft® 9251 was chosen for its outstanding insulation value in a thin profile.
The use of conventional insulation materials would have required altering or changing all doors and frames.

BENEFITS

Spaceloft 9251 was installed on the entire floor in 30 minutes. Polystyrene foam requires a full day. The time savings reduced labor costs and allowed the project to remain on schedule.
The owner did not have to change any doors and frames, saving substantial time and money.
Spaceloft is easy to unwind on the floor, flexible but robust, and easily cut like a carpet.
The thin Spaceloft saved over 3 cm of height in the room.
