Floorshield Insulation

Springvale Floorshield has been providing the effective, efficient and cost-effective solution to insulating a wide variety of solid and suspended floor constructions for decades, making substantial contributions to energy efficiency.

An expanded polystyrene rigid insulation board, it is available in original white EPS or as Platinum, to provide even higher insulation values.

Platinum Floorshield is an EPS board which incorporates a graphite component called Neopor®, manufactured by BASF, to provide significantly improved thermal insulation performance, for example, to achieve higher levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes or just to improve SAP ratings.

Floorshield products are light and easy-to-handle and can be fitted simply in domestic, commercial and industrial ground floor applications. Floorshield is suitable for use in solid concrete floors above or below the ground bearing slab; above a suspended beam and block floor; within a suspended timber floor and below under floor heating systems.

The inherent insulation and compressive strength properties of this versatile material make it the most cost-effective loadbearing insulant for floor construction, with a compressive strength at 1 compression of 21 kPa. Springvale Floorshield products are the ideal solution for domestic applications.

Providing excellent thermal insulation properties, Floorshield and Platinum Floorshield reduce heat loss, conserve energy and can be used in conjunction with other products in Springvale's Shield range to assist compliance with the Code for Sustainable Homes.

Manufactured in a range of thicknesses, enabling appropriate U-values to be achieved, they are approved by the British Board of Agrement and are available through insulation distributors and builders merchants throughout the UK.
