Airex Floorvent to insulate suspended timber floors

THe Simple, Low Cost Way to Tackle Underfloor Heat Loss

Floorvent is a way to reduce heat loss from suspended timber floors through smart control of ventilation. By reducing draughts and making the underfloor space warmer AirEx improves the U-value of the floor.

Suspended timber floors are in many homes and are usually ventilated with air bricks which allow air to flow under the floor to stop condensation forming, which could otherwise cause mould growth or timber rot.

However, constantly open-air bricks can contribute to up to 15% of the energy used to heat a home is wasted, as well as causing uncomfortable cold draughts.

Airex Floorvent controls this airflow to reduce heat loss while ensuring sufficient ventilation to prevent condensation.

how does the airex floorvent work?

The Airex brick is a smart ventilation control that replaces existing air bricks at a sub-floor level (under the floorboards). The Airex bricks have in-built sensors to measure the environmental conditions (such as temperature and relative humidity) and use smart software algorithms to automatically regulate airflow.

Each brick closes to reduce heat loss and improve thermal comfort but opens to reduce humidity and stop mould and damp.

Robust trials have shown that Airex Floorvent can save an average of 12% of whole home heat loss and led to the system being included in SAP (EPC). For most homes Airex can contribute 2-4 EPC points.
