Thermal Ceiling Insulation

This will deliver both thermal and acoustical performance within the home increasing overall home comfort.

Thermal ceiling insulation. R value is a measure of insulation s ability to resist heat traveling through it. Before you start check with an electrician to make sure there are no live wires hanging around. Cathedral ceiling insulation properly insulating your cathedral ceilings will allow ceiling temperatures to remain closer to room temperatures providing an even temperature distribution throughout the house.

Insulation level are specified by r value. Thermo sheath provides insulation and moisture barrier for ceiling. The table below shows what levels of insulation are cost effective for different climates and locations in the home.

As with attics or anywhere else in your home adding more layers of insulation to your exterior walls is key to having a higher r value and better thermal performance. The higher the r value the better the thermal performance of the insulation. Most times installing a plasterboard ceiling is a diy project that can save you a lot of money.

Insulation materials run the gamut from bulky fiber materials such as fiberglass rock and slag wool cellulose and natural fibers to rigid foam boards to sleek foils. Rolls are easy to transport and can be cut to the length you need. Rigid foam boards trap air or another gas to resist conductive heat flow.

Bulky materials resist conductive and to a lesser degree convective heat flow in a building cavity. Energy saving and maintenance free isotherm in ceilings regulates indoor temperatures keeping homes warm in winter and cool in summer. Try a spray foam insulation kit to fill cavities gaps cracks expansion joints and other sources of air leaks.

Foam board insulation is easy to install between wall studs and over existing blanket insulation. More items in interior wall ceiling upgrades. Isotherm is supplied in rolls of either 750mm or 1200mm wide and is suitable for standard housing construction.
