Roof insulation, also known as ceiling insulation, is the single most important insulation in your home. Without it, your home can not possibly be energy efficient. It is most likely going to be uncomfortable and very expensive to heat and to cool without good insulation coverage.

Did you know that installing roof or ceiling insulation can save up to 45% (or more) on heating and cooling costs and is, generally, the next most important step to take after effective draught proofing.

What is Roof Insulation

Roof insulation is an essential part of maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home. It helps to keep warm air inside during winter and cool air in during summer, helping you save money on your energy bills.

Ceiling insulation provides a layer of thermal resistance (measured in R value) to external heat and cold temperatures. Good quality roof insulation will help your home to retain the heating and cooling of your air conditioning / heating in your home. The higher the R value the greater the thermal benefit.

With the current Australian National Construction Code it is not legal to build a new home without roof insulation. However, for existing homes there can be a range of insulation cover from “none” through to “quite good”.

There are two factors to how well your roof insulation performs:

  1. The R value of your insulation
  2. How well your roof insulation has been installed

What are the most common types of roof insulation?

There are 3 main types of ceiling insulation:

  • Bulk 
  • Reflective 
  • Composite

Bulk insulation uses pockets of trapped air within its structure to resist heat and cold transfer.  Generally it comes in batts or rolls.   Reflective insulation is material with a reflective facing.  Generally this is foil faced kraft paper, foil bubble wrap. Its main focus is to reflect heat.  Composite insulation is a combination of bulk and reflective insulation.
