Floors require insulation in a range of climates, mainly where it is quite cool or where there’s high humidity. Insulation is needed underneath suspended floors in colder temperatures and mountainous climates. It is also need in high humid and dry environments where air conditioning is heavily used. Your feet will thank you in winter with underfloor insulation.
Up to 10% of heat can escape through the floors in winter without adequate insulation.
The floors between stories in a home can sometimes be overlooked in regards to insulation, which can result in draughts and uncomfortably cold spaces. It can also result in air leaks, meaning your heating and cooling systems are being wasted and this air is seeping out and the outside elements are coming in.

Both internal and external walls need to be insulated, as this will reduce radiant and conducted transfer of heat. Insulation can be installed within wall cavities, within stud frames, on the outside of stud frames and on both the inside and outside of solid walls. Some forms of insulation can also work as a barrier to vapour or moisture.

Roofs and ceiling insulation work together for optimal results. Insulation is installed under roofing material to reduce the transfer of heat and in the ceiling to decrease excess heat loss or gain from external elements. Ceiling insulation is usually installed between the beams. Roof and ceiling insulation is the best possible way to protect your home from the elements and will reduce up to 20% of heat loss from the home.
The blue wrapping around the outside a house is a kind of insulation known as wall wrap, or Sisalation. Sisalation foil is extremely effective in severe climate conditions due to its reflective ability. This Sisalation acts like a second skin for your home, offering optimal comfort for its occupants. Sisalation minimises draughts, therefore allowing standard wall insulation to be the most effective it can be.
Insulation can be installed in several areas of the home, including the ceiling, walls, underfloor and sub floors for multiple storey homes.
