CEILING INSULATION

Up to 25-35% of a home’s heat loss occurs through the ceiling in winter, and heat gain through the ceiling in summer can make your home uncomfortably warm. Quality insulation acts as a barrier, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Properly insulated ceilings can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 20-40%, depending on your home’s design and insulation type.

Common ceiling insulation materials include fiberglass batts, cellulose, mineral wool, and spray foam, each offering unique benefits like fire resistance, soundproofing, or eco-friendliness.

Insulation is rated by its R-Value, which measures thermal resistance. Higher R-Values (e.g., R4.0 or above for Melbourne’s climate) provide better insulation, ensuring optimal performance.

Quality ceiling insulation can last 20-50 years, some manufacturer warranties are now

 70 years! but older or damaged insulation may lose effectiveness, making retrofitting essential for maintaining efficiency.

Modern insulation materials, like recycled cellulose or sheep’s wool, reduce your carbon footprint by lowering energy use and incorporating sustainable resources.

Retrofitting outdated or insufficient insulation with high-performance materials can significantly cut electricity and gas costs, often paying for itself within a few years.

Eliminate hot or cold spots in your home. New insulation ensures consistent indoor temperatures, making every room more livable year-round.

Energy-efficient homes are more attractive to buyers. Retrofitting insulation can boost your property’s market value and appeal in Melbourne’s competitive housing market.

Modern insulation materials, like Sound batts or mineral wool, reduce external noise, creating a quieter, more peaceful home environment.

Retrofitting with sustainable insulation reduces energy consumption, helping you contribute to a greener planet while meeting Australia’s growing focus on sustainable living.

New insulation can reduce drafts and moisture buildup, minimising mould and allergens for a healthier living space.
