Soil insulation
Soil insulation: The key to a healthy and energy-efficient home!
With our high-quality ground sealing techniques, we offer an effective solution to keep moisture, cold and vermin out of your crawl space. Whether it concerns bottom foil, insulation chips, insulation beads or shell insulation, we have the right solution for your specific needs.
Our bottom valves create a solid barrier between the crawl space and the rest of your home. They prevent moisture from rising from the ground, protecting you against mold formation, moisture problems and unpleasant odors. In addition, the insulating effect ensures that heat is retained better, saving energy and increasing your living comfort.
At Piket Services we offer various bottom valves to optimally insulate and protect your crawl space. Below you will find more information about the different bottom valves that we offer:
-
Bottom foil:Ground foil is a high-quality plastic foil that is applied to the bottom of the crawl space. It forms an effective barrier against moisture and fumes from the ground. Soil film is durable, waterproof and resistant to fungi and micro-organisms. It ensures a dry and healthy living environment.
-
Insulation chips: Insulation chips are small polystyrene beads that are spread on the floor of the crawl space. They form an insulating layer and reduce heat loss. Insulation chips are lightweight, moisture resistant and have a high insulation value. They ensure improved energy efficiency and increase comfort in your home.
-
Insulation beads: Insulation beads are made of expanded polystyrene and are spread evenly across the floor of the crawl space. They have excellent insulation value and form a thermal barrier. Insulation beads are moisture resistant, mold resistant and contribute to a healthier indoor climate.
-
Shells insulation: Shell insulation consists of natural shells that are applied to the bottom of the crawl space. Shells have an insulating effect and ensure good moisture regulation. They are environmentally friendly, durable and can provide a long-lasting insulation solution.
Each bottom valve has its own specific advantages and applications. Our experienced professionals are happy to advise you on the most suitable option for your situation. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation and let us transform your crawl space into a well-insulated and dry space.
