Ceiling Insulation Suppliers
Insulating your ceiling is a great way to prevent energy loss in the home. This will reduce heating and cooling costs, prolong the effectiveness of HVAC systems and ensure a comfortable environment for you and your family. Insulation provides many long-term benefits that recoup the initial investment many times over.
Most homes are not properly insulated in the roof space causing unnecessary energy consumption. Insufficient insulation allows heat to escape your home in the winter and cool air to evade in summer. This waste of energy is very expensive and has a negative impact on the environment. Insulating the roof space will help to decrease this unnecessary waste and make a difference in our current environmentally threatened world.
Different types of insulation are available to achieve the best results for your building, home or commercial property. This includes both acoustic and thermal insulation. A correctly installed acoustic insulation will keep noises from travelling through your walls and ceiling, while a well-installed thermal insulation will stop heat from escaping your home in the winter and cool air escaping in the summer.
There are two main forms of insulation for ceilings – segment and blanket. Segment insulation is where individual pieces of insulation are fitted between the ceiling joists (timber supports that hold up your ceiling). Blanket insulation is a more modern installation method whereby insulation is rolled out over the top of the ceiling joists, essentially ‘blanketing’ the entire ceiling area. It is also usually made from recycled materials and can be a more cost effective option.
