Batt Insulation For Houses
The Different Kinds Of Insulation In Australia
There are many different kinds of roof insulation out there, but the safest for you and your family is Earth Wool. All natural, with no harmful chemicals like what has traditionally been used in Australia, and is still being used in cheap insulation installs. Earth wool roof insulation replaces old:
- Ceiling Insulation: A prevalent form of insulation utilised to hinder heat transfer via the roof of a home.
- Bulk Insulation: This encompasses materials like batts, loose-fill, and rigid foam boards. They operate by confining tiny air pockets within their structure, thereby lessening heat flow. Earth Wool is a variant of bulk insulation, albeit without the detrimental chemicals.
- Reflective Foil Insulation: This insulation variety reflects radiant heat away from the home, aiding in maintaining cooler temperatures during summer. We often use this type in combination with Earth Wool.
- Insulation Batts: These are pre-cut insulation segments that can be effortlessly fitted between your roof's joists. Earth Wool is a type of insulation batt, but it is not the harmful pink insulation batt.
- Glasswool (Fibreglass) Insulation: This is one of Australia's most favoured choices due to its efficacy and cost-effectiveness. However, the Formaldehyde it contains can pose a risk to children and pets.
- Foam Insulation: This insulation form is sprayed into position and then expands to fill gaps, but it contains numerous harmful chemicals that create the expanding foam.
- Polyester, Natural Wool, Glass Wool, and Rockwool Batts: These are all appropriate materials for ceiling insulation, providing various advantages depending on the specific requirements of the home.
