PIF stands for Polyisocyanurate Foil-faced insulation—a high-performance, ultra-thin, and reflective insulation material that’s exceptionally well-suited for crawl spaces. This is especially important in the Netherlands, where many homes are built above damp, cold soil. PIF's design makes it ideal for this environment, providing a powerful barrier against heat loss in a space most homeowners don’t even think about.


Unlike bulky fiberglass or fragile mineral wool, PIF insulation is sleek, durable, and highly efficient. It doesn’t sag, absorb moisture, or break down over time. Instead, it forms a tight, moisture-resistant barrier that reflects radiant heat back into your home. Think of it as a thermal shield—wrapping the underside of your house with a smart, protective layer that keeps warmth in and cold out.


If you live in a Dutch home, there’s a good chance your crawl space is acting as a heat sink—constantly pulling warmth from your floors and introducing cold, damp air. Over time, this doesn’t just affect comfort—it leads to higher energy bills, potential mold growth, and long-term structural concerns. PIF insulation turns that vulnerable space into a line of defense, helping you conserve energy, lower costs, and protect your home’s foundation from moisture damage.
