Improve Building Performance Through Effective Floor Insulation and Airtightness
The Retrofit Workshop: Suspended Timber Floors - Insulation & Airtight Sealing is designed for professionals involved in retrofit, construction, housing, and building maintenance who want to develop practical knowledge of improving the thermal performance of suspended timber floors. Poorly insulated floors can contribute significantly to heat loss, draughts, occupant discomfort, and increased energy costs. This hands-on workshop provides learners with practical insights into insulating suspended timber floors and implementing effective airtightness measures to improve energy efficiency, comfort, and overall building performance.
Course units
The workshop covers the principles of floor insulation, airtightness strategies, heat loss reduction, moisture management, condensation risks, insulation materials, installation techniques, treatment of gaps and junctions, ventilation considerations, quality assurance, and retrofit best practice. Learners will gain practical insight into delivering effective insulation and airtightness measures for suspended timber floors while maintaining building health and performance.
What next?
Successful learners can progress to further retrofit, energy efficiency, and low-carbon technology training, including Retrofit Advisor, Domestic Energy Assessment, Domestic Ventilation Systems, Heat Pumps, and other sustainability-focused programmes. The workshop also supports those involved in PAS 2035 retrofit projects and domestic energy improvement schemes.
Entry criteria
There are no formal entry requirements for this workshop. It is suitable for retrofit professionals, builders, installers, tradespeople, housing professionals, maintenance personnel, and anyone involved in energy efficiency improvement works within domestic properties.
Fee information
