Basement Floor insulation - the expert solution by fusion insulation
Discover how your Basement Floors and Walls can benefit from the same insulation system specified by the world’s most luxurious yacht makers with Fusion's Basement Wall Insulation!
If you want your basement floors and walls to perform like supercharged thermal storage heaters, then the news you are about to discover here will rock your world. If you’ve dreamed that your basement could be the place where family and friends can go to hang out in blissful warmth and comforts then take heart, you will be the toast of your neighborhood. If you’ve worried about that your basement floors and walls would technically be too difficult to insulate property, your worries are over, there is an insulation that’s a snap to install and is so effective that many of the great yacht builders wouldn’t set to sea without it.We’re not kidding, when we tell you that many of the world’s great yacht builders rely on Foam Insulation to literally keep their mega yachts afloat. Foam Insulation has some incredible properties that other insulation can only dream about. Take the fact that foam insulation is watertight, wont soak water or humidity. The ETAP Yacht company of Belgium discovered these marvelous properties years ago and have literally built their yachts around foam. The benefits of the foam insulation mean Etap Yachts are condensation free, a problem which is a headache for any yacht builder, when moored in damp misty moorings. The benefits don’t end there. Acoustic are also dramatically improved and Etap make one other not insignificant claim for their yachts. Oh yeah.
They are UNSINKABLE.Now we think the captain of the Titanic would have loved to have had FUSION INSULATION FOAM on his ship.As a test Etap yachts have had holes drilled in their hull’s and then deliberately flooded . They were then sailed across the English Channel, and so successful was the crossing that the test pilot noted only a mild drop in performance. Without the protection of Foam Insulation that Etap would still be in ‘Davy Jones’s Locker’ . We could name numerous other Yacht Manufacturers that have discovered the wonderful benefits of foam for their yachts and we think that you should make that discovery.
Hey you basement isn’t entirely dissimilar to a yacht. Your basement has a ‘hull’, your floors and walls, and its submerged into the earth, which can occasionally flood and most of all wouldn’t you like your basement to have the warm snug atmosphere of a luxury yacht.
But there more huge and undiscovered potential locked away in your basement's concrete floors and block walls. Let’s back up a little and take a quick physics class. Don’t worry this class is easy. At Fusion we don’t do quantum physics. This class has to do with what’s know as THERMAL MASS or the ‘battery storage effect’ in layman’s terms.
In many modern homes that have timber floors, and timber stud superstructure they can suffer from an absence of critical thermal mass. In other words, switch off the heat and pretty quickly the heat will plummet. If the sun shines in the windows then the temperature can rocket to uncomfortable levels. It’s not that the house is badly insulated it’s just that the superstructure materials aren’t good at storing that heat and then releasing it slowly. So your home office or building can YOYO up and down quite dramatically.
What building materials have good ‘thermal mass’ properties . Well your basement concrete floor is one such area . Look at it this way 1m3 of concrete weights about 2.5 tonnes. Your average 200m2 basement using a 100mm floor will have 50 tonne approx of concrete in its floors and this concrete as well as it being solid, strong and durable will also acts as a wonderful thermal store. In practical terms your home will heat up slowly and cool slowly so you wont get the YOYO effect we were telling you about earlier. With basement floors made of concrete your home can get that wonderful ‘storage heater’ effect where you rooms will stay warm long after your heating has been switched off.
However there is a catch, a fly in the ointment, a sting in the tail, if you will.
Unless you’re concrete floors are super insulated they wont perform like the thermal battery we were just describing. Instead they will act like ‘DEEP SPACE’ black holes sucking every drop of heat out of your house. Like a weasel on an unsuspecting rabbit, uninsulated concrete floors will attack all your efforts at heating and bleed the heat and cosy atmosphere out of your basement.
But what about the usual ‘panel and sheet type insulations’ Wont they keep my basement as warm and as snug as any yacht. We’d agree with you if board type insulation didn't have to be jointed and butted together. It’s simply the nature of the beast.
Here’s the deal GAPS AND JOINTS destroy U values – Sheet insulations don’t have cold-proof zippers to zip them together, and the last time we checked there was no adequate seal system to ensure continuity of U values along those joints. Sure your builder will do his best to tape over those joints, butt the sheets together, cut them as cleanly as possible, but the truth be known it’s a compromise, it’s a best of a bad lot solution. Heat can be lost and U values destroyed.
Sprayfoam doesnt suffer from these limitations. Our foam is a seamless system .
