Reduces air conditioning running costs.

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

  Multiple air spaces are      created.

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.

  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.

  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)
