Where to install Gold Batts insulation?

 

Without insulation, even the best designed home will allow heat to transfer through walls, ceiling and floors. As a consequence, your comfort suffers and you can end up spending far too much on heating and cooling energy bills.

Gold Batts can stop up to 70% of all heat transfers, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

1. Gold Batts for Ceilings
In summer, your roof space can reach 60^OC and without insulation in winter, warmth from your living areas can easily escape through your ceiling. Want to know more <click here>.

2. Gold Batts for Floors
Installing gold batts under floors will dramatically reduce heat loss in winter, particularly when used under exposed floorboards. Want to know more <click here>.

3. Gold Batts for External Walls
Installing gold wall/floor batts restrict the heat transferred through external walls. Fire resistance is also greatly improved. EnviroSeal Light Duty wall wrap assists with thermal insulation and condensation control and protects the inside of the house during construction. Want to know more <click here>.

 

Up to 10% of a homes heat can be lost through uninsulated floors. The inclusion of EnviroSeal foil insulation under roof tiles and as a wall wrap around the wall frames is recommended to provide an added reflective insulation and vapour barrier.

 

4. Tile Roofs
EnviroSeal Roof Safety installed under tile battens provides a hail resistant barrier for peace of mind in the event of broken or dislodged tiles due to hailstorms, tree branches and accidental damage. Want to know more <click here>.

 

5. Metal Roofs
Bradford Anticon Roofing blanket gives superior thermal insulation as well as condensation prevention. Want to know more <click here>.

How Heat Transfer Affects Your Comfort

Heat always flows from hot areas to cold areas, and that's where Gold Batts come into their own! They act as a barrier, reducing heat transfer into your home in summer and heat loss to the outside during winter.

 

Heat transfer occurs in three different ways:

 

Radiation

Direct heat from the sun and reflective hot surfaces. In summer, radiation from the sun heats up your roof and wall surfaces and this heat is radiated into your home.

 

Convection

Warm air displacing cool air. In winter warm air rises and is replaced by cool air entering your home.

 

Conduction

Heat transferred through materials in your home. Warm air is cooled when it comes in contact with uninsulated ceilings and external walls.

 

Even the best built homes suffer from heat transfer unless they are adequately insulated.

 

In winter, 42% of a home's heat is lost through the ceiling and 24% through the walls. In summer heat flows in at the same rates.

 

To compensate, heating and cooling appliances need to run at elevated power levels and for longer periods to be effective.

 

Safe Formulation

Gold batts insulation are manufactured using the latest FBS-1 bio-soluble glass wool formulation which has been assessed as non-hazardous under the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission's guidelines.
