FAILURE IN RATINGS & INSULATION STANDARD

CEILINGS
- PITCHED ROOFS |
|
Combination insulation system - DUAL WINTER AND SUMMER CLIMATES
FOIL BATTS simply laid over fibrous insulation (33deg
tested R value) maintaining concertina
air spaces.
NOT STAPLED in ceilings – deemed to be electrically safe (conclusions from 2014 Royal Commission – Home Insulation Program)
Do not pull tight. Dust is of little importance 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, and reduces air conditioning running costs. |

|
JOISTS VISIBLE |
JOISTS COVERED |
|
Laid direct on ceilings in triangular profile for dominant summer climates.
Two FOIL BATTS, in triangular profile, one on ceiling, the other on top of joists provides maximum heat flow down summer benefit.
|
|
|
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. |

FLOORS |

New
and existing floors - overlapped and stapled to joists with min
50mm airspace = Total R3.0
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
Unstable base for nesting of rats and rodents, ie other insulations can support vermin
Perforated
FOIL BATTS allows
floors to drain moisture from rain. Retrofit for existing floors do not need perforation holes. Breathing of timbers occurs through unsealed overlaps. Recommended for use by Timber Promotion Council (VIC). |
