Bradford Optimo™ Underfloor Insulation

Bradford Optimo underfloor insulation batts is a premium glasswool insulation batt designed for the underfloors of homes with suspended timber floors. Optimo floor insulation helps reduce draughts, minimise heat loss in winter, and lessen reverberation and noise through the floor cavity for a quieter, more comfortable home. Easy to install, Australian-made, and backed by CSR Bradford’s 70-year product performance warranty.

Features and Benefits

Bradford Optimo Batts floor insulation helps keep homes warmer in winter and more stable year-round by insulating the floor and limiting cold air movement from the subfloor. The dense glasswool body also reduces floor echo and noise transmission. Installation is straightforward: batts friction-fit between timber joists and hold their shape; use Optimo Saddles or Straps where joist spacing varies or extra support is needed.

Key Features

Homes with well-insulated ceilings and walls could still be losing as much as 15% of their heating and cooling energy use through the suspended timber sub-floor, costing the home owner money and increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

Typical Applications

  • Suspended timber floors with an accessible, ventilated subfloor
  • Residential and light commercial projects with suspended timber floors
  • Retrofits and renovations where underfloor access is available
  • New builds seeking improved comfort and efficiency

Optimo can also be installed in new homes during construction. With a maximum R-value of R2.5, Optimo blitzes the competition as the highest thermally rated sub-floor insulation product on the market, which will result in a significant improvement in energy efficiency and home comfort when installed.

“DIY homeowners can now easily install this insulation under an existing suspended timber floor themselves. This saves them both money on installation and reduced heating and cooling costs for their home.

“Optimo is also easier to install in newly constructed homes than other products and being the only sub-floor insulation to provide thermal, acoustic and fire resistance properties, there is a great benefit to builders and home owners alike.“
