CEILINGS - PITCHED ROOFS

FOIL BATTS simply laid over fibrous insulation (33deg tested R value)    maintaining concertina air spaces.

Do not pull tight.Dust irrelevant on top surface - bottom triangular foil    airspaces emit or re-radiate approx 3% of all summer heat.

Ceiling temperatures reduced by approx 5-10 deg, depending on thickness
    of existing insulation.

Extra R Value = approx R1.0 down/summer, R0.5 up/winter.

Extreme radiant heat from roof is stopped, creating comfort in the rooms below.

Reduces air conditioning running costs.


  Two FOIL BATTS, one
    on ceiling and the other laid     across between joists,
    snipped to make a close fit.

  This foil-only option will      give the best winter      performance and be      similar to fibrous      insulation.


   Two FOIL BATTS, one on
    ceiling and the other across
    the joists.

  Multiple air spaces are      created.

CEILINGS - FLAT OR CATHEDRAL ROOFS

Use two FOIL BATTS stapled between rafters plus foil     under metal roofs - Approx total R4 down/summer R2     up/winter.

 Bottom layer can rest on ceiling battens, maintaining     3% low emitting foil airspace.

Extreme radiant heat from roof is stopped.

Do NOT use bulk insulations in narrow cavities = rapid     summer heat transfer and 40% R value reduction.

ROOFS - TILE, METAL, SLATE

  FOIL BATTS stapled between rafters stopping 97% summer radiant heat, under     80-100 deg roofs.

  Dust on upper foil surface is irrelevant - downward air spaces constantly
    emit/re radiate only 3%.

  Reduces heat load on airconditioning ductwork insulation (33deg tested R value)      causing lower running costs.

  Also reduces summer heat on ceilings, but for winter and summer benefit, best      position is laying on top of bulk.
     Winter heat escape must be stopped at ceiling, not roof level.

  Attic extensions - staple 2 FOIL BATTS in narrow rafter cavities.
     R2.5 batts will get too hot in summer.

WALLS
  Snipped and stapled between timber studs, do not settle or slump

  Airspace created to allow external sarking foils to function - inner foil emitting 3%      radiation

  Do NOT use R1.5-2.5 batts - contact with foil causes summer heat transfer into      batts and then onto internal walls

  Zero summer heat radiation transfer - multiple aluminium airspaces formed,     similar to thermos flask

  Highest radiation load on second storey western walls

  Total R value, with external foil = brick veneer R2.6,
    weatherboard fibre/cement R2.5  (winter and summer)
FLOORS


  New and existing floors - overlapped and stapled to joists with min 50mm      airspace = Total R3.1

  97% radiant heat flow down - reflected back to maintain warmer floor temperature

   Create still air above and below FOIL BATT. Enclosed perimeter walls
   (eg brick veneer or shade cloth behind base boards). Open perimeter walls - use
    floor joist underlining

  Joist tops clear for gluing and cramping of flooring

  Easier than draping foil or supporting fibre batts with chicken wire

  Perforated FOIL BATTS allows floors to drain possible moisture and assists in     breathing of timbers. Recommended for use by Timber Promotion Council (VIC)
