Insulation
Insulation is one of the cheapest ways to reduce the need for heating and cooling. Insulation installed in the roof space reduces heat flow up or down to 90%. A temperature improvement of up to 8 degrees with roof insulation is possible.
What Is Roof Insulation?
Having roof insulation installed in your home improves not only the temperature it reduces the need for heating and cooling. As a result, insulated homes will recover the cost of insulation in 3 years on energy saving alone.
Thermal Insulation products
All the above insulation products are SANS compliant and SABS approved.
How Thermal Insulation Works
Insulation is laid directly against the ceiling. All wires, wherever possible, are lifted above the insulation. Additionally, we must cover the entire roof space from end to end.
The ceiling will get hotter as the heat builds up in the Roof Space. Therefore the home will undoubtedly be even more heated in summer as the heat build-up.
On the other hand, insulated roofs will reduce this heat gain by 90%. As a consequence, the winter effect is also significant. Warmth in the home will rise, and as a result, the insulation will not be lost into the ceiling space.
