Ceiling insulation

Boost energy efficiency and keep any space comfortable with ceiling insulation batts.

Without insulation, ceilings can account for approximately 35% of heat transfer between an interior space and the outside air. The good news? High-quality ceiling insulation batts reduce heat loss during the winter and heat gain in the summer. Ultimately, that means a more comfortable, eco-friendly and cost-effective home.

At Insulation Industries, we are specialists in ceiling insulation. Whether your goal is to regulate indoor temperatures or maximise energy efficiency, we offer a range of durable and affordable CSR Bradford ceiling batts.

Explore the benefits of ceiling insulation

Our ceiling insulation batts bring a variety of advantages all year round.

Superior comfort

Insulation ceiling batts serve as a barrier to heat transfer, helping to keep homes warm in the colder seasons and cool when the weather heats up.
The most noticeable improvement in home comfort will likely be during summer. Without insulation, the ceiling can become extremely hot, as if you’re standing in direct sunlight. During winter, you might also notice fewer drafts.

Lower energy costs

On average, a typical household uses as much as 70% of its energy on heating and/or cooling. By installing high-quality ceiling insulation batts, you could cut expenses by up to 40%, depending on your home’s size and the local climate.

Based on these numbers, that means a potential reduction of approximately $616 in energy bills each year!

A greener home

Insulating the ceiling is a key step towards creating a sustainable home. By reducing heat flow, ceiling batts not only contribute to energy savings but also help to minimise your ecological footprint.

With less need to power up your heating and cooling system, you can create a more environmentally friendly space without compromising on comfort.

Fewer health concerns

If left unchecked, condensation can gather on ceilings and lead to issues like mould and mildew. Insulation for ceilings acts as a vapour barrier, preventing this moisture buildup.

Additionally, the right ceiling insulation can block external pollutants that may enter through air leaks and affect indoor air quality. This protection is vital to a home’s structural integrity and its residents’ health.

FAQs

What are the different ceiling insulation types?

Ceiling insulation batts are most often made of polyester or glass wool. These materials have fantastic thermal properties, are simple to install and cost-effective to maintain.

Polyester insulation is made out of recycled PET plastics. This type of insulation typically costs more than glasswool due to its flame-resistant, anti-irritant, non-toxic, and hydrophobic qualities.

This option is perfect for families with asthma or dust allergies as it doesn’t contain any breathable fibres. It also offers exceptional longevity, with heat bonding ensuring it retains its thickness and insulation properties over time.

Manufactured from recycled glass, glasswool insulation is widely used in both residential and commercial settings due to its low cost.

Also known as glass fibre or fibreglass, this material is available in various densities, making it appropriate for numerous applications. Its compact size offers high R-Values, which is particularly beneficial in smaller roof spaces.

When choosing batt ceiling insulation, it’s important to measure any spaces or gaps accurately. For optimal results, speak with the experts at Insulation Industries. We can guide you through the different factors to consider and help you source the ideal insulation batts for any ceiling.

Will ceiling insulation increase the R-value of my home?

Yes. Properly installed ceiling insulation can significantly increase the overall R-value of a home.

R-value is a measure of insulation’s ability to reduce heat flow. In essence, the higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation.

The ceiling plays a major role in heat loss and gain within a home, so it’s crucial to choose ceiling insulation with a suitable R-value. In Australia, ceiling insulation R-values range from R3.0 to R7.0, with a rating of at least R4.0 generally advised for most cities.

Note that insulation performance can vary depending on its specific use, placement and installation. Additionally, it’s important to adhere to the area’s Building Code of Australia (BCA) standards for ceiling insulation.

At Insulation Industries, we can help you select and install batts ceiling insulation with the optimal R-value for a home. Explore our range and enquire online today.

Is ceiling insulation worth It?

Firstly, investing in ceiling insulation can be a clever move for its owner’s wallet. The savings on energy bills can effectively offset the cost of the insulation itself.

How? The HVAC system accounts for the largest portion of energy use in most homes. It requires a significant amount of energy to keep the home at a comfortable temperature.

By installing ceiling batt insulation, you reduce reliance on this system and help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature for less.

How much does ceiling insulation cost?

The cost of insulation will vary based on the requirements of each project. Call us today to get an exact quote.

When should ceiling insulation be installed?

You can install insulation ceiling batts during or after construction, provided you have access to the roof space.

However, we recommend installing ceiling insulation as soon as possible while your house is being built or renovated. That way, batts can be fitted directly below the roof. It will also help to protect structural components from the elements during construction.
