Insulating Floors

Thermal/Sound Insulation for Floors

SEMPAFLOOR PACK SHOT

General:

SEMPAFLOOR is a unique insulating lining specifically designed for application to a wide range of floors. SEMPAFLOOR can be used as either thermal insulation for cold surfaces or as acoustic insulation where impact noise is a problem. In both situations it is an excellent, easy to install, economical solution. For over 20 years SEMPAFLOOR has been specified and successfully used by Local Authorities, Housing Associations, County Authorities, commercial and industrial outlets throughout the UK and Europe.

Condensation and Thermal Performance:

SEMPAFLOOR can be used on concrete floors, solid floors and is particularly useful where “cold bridging” is the cause of condensation and mould growth. SEMPAFLOOR provides an excellent thermal barrier to prevent transmission of cold and will also reduce heat loss and provide substantial energy saving. It overcomes the problem of foam backed carpets sweating up against concrete floors and the age old complaints of “rising damp” in the middle of the floor.

SEMPAFLOOR can be used on any type of floor and is ideal for use on “flying bedrooms”, rooms over garages or driveways, rooms over external passageways, park home floors and rooms over cellars/basements.

Acoustic Insulation:

SEMPAFLOOR can be used on all types of floor construction to reduce noise problems. It has excellent acoustic insulation ability and is particularly good for reduction of impact sound. SEMPAFLOOR has been tested by two independent authorities and the results show a dramatic reduction in the level of noise.
