Hi Everybody,
We are undertaking some renovation work in our home and one of the areas we are going to address is the level of insulation. The house is relatively old (1970ish) and the ground floor is built using a suspended timber floor.
I was reading a thread here today "Insulation consultation":
And can see two options:
(1) Lift floor, install mesh, insulate on top of mesh, (add air tight membrane), re-lay floor
(2) "Modern solutions will seek to remove the floor, install a concrete slab over insulation on top of a radon gas barrier, with chemical DPCs in the walls." - that sounds like it might not be the best way though "total agree, also concrete is a lazy option"
I was reading one of those home improvement magazines at the weekend and it had a feature/advertisement for a product called the Tonzon Cushion : (not allowed to post a link yet - google for "tonzon theromocushion")
It certainly looks straightforward to fit and is claimed to be a cheaper option.
Does anybody here have any experience / knowledge of this product - there is very little information on the internet about it and only one company in Ireland seem to supply/fit.
(usual disclaimer - no connection or affiliation to that company - just a customer looking for opinions)
