Energy Saving Properties
* An average 12ft x 12ft room will have approximately 25 floorboards making up the floor area. The gap between these boards will average 4mm
This means the total gap area would be 25 x 4mm = 100mm x 12 feet length (3657mm) = 0.36m2
This is similar in size to a small window being left open all day, every day.
Savings are anticipated to up to 50% in rooms that have been fitted with Gapseal
