Insulation
Insulation slows and or prevents the flow of heat through your home. By installing this passive cooling material, you will reduce the extremes and experience year round comfort without the use of expensive heating and cooling methods.
​
The highest thermal efficiency you can achieve is to insulate your entire home from the inside out. This can be done during a new build or renovations.
​
The second best thermal efficiency you can achieve without major work is to insulate your ceiling with the highest quality R5 glass wool ceiling batts.
​
An uninsulated homes roof will allow an extra 25 - 35% of the heat in summer to penetrate your home and the same to escape in winter. ​
​
If you would like to further improve the thermal efficiency of your new ceiling insulation you can include a solar vent to extract heat above 25" and retain it below 25".
*The minimum requirement for homes in our service area is R 4.1 this will do a satisfactory job and a whirly bird for summer heat extraction.

Why Should I Install Insulation In My Home?
Heating and cooling together use the largest amount of energy in the average Australian home, accounting for around 40% of household energy use (yourhome.gov.au). By using passive design materials like insulation you will be able to make a long term reduction in the cost of heating and cooling your home.
​
Some have also described older Australian homes as glorified tents which are built to let out hot air but not much else. The below image shows all the areas where older Australian homes can leak heat in winter and cooling in summer.
