Thermal Insulation improves indoor temperature by 5-8 degrees in summer and winter. For this reason, Ceiling Insulation is compulsory for all new homes built as of January 2013, following the new SANS legislation in South Africa, as a result of the energy crisis, and to help save our environment.
Ceiling Insulation is one of the best investments for your home. Installing Aerolite Insulation will reduce the heat flow in and out of your home. In summer, these insulation products will significantly improve your home’s temperature.
Thermal Insulation reduces the heat flow from the roof through the ceiling into your home in summer. In fact, in summer, the roof area of your home is like an OVEN. The heat is like a pressure cooker; the easiest way out is through the thin rhino board ceiling and into your home.

Therefore, Insulation will eventually drop your home’s internal temperature. Thus, ensuring a much cooler 4 to 8 degrees in some homes reduces the need for heating and cooling.
