Why Insulate?

  • Why Insulate - DiagramThe magic of insulation: Insulation works by providing a continuous boundary of the “building envelope,” between conditioned indoor spaces and unconditioned outdoor spaces. Low levels of insulation, plus gaps and voids in the insulation materials can provide pathways for heat and air to easily flow into or out of a home. Approximately 40 percent of feeling physically comfortable is due to radiant heat exchange between our bodies and the surrounding interior surfaces. Increasing insulation reduces this radiant heat exchange, maintaining a more consistent level of comfort throughout a house.
  • It will save you money. It is widely agreed that by simply insulating your roof space a homeowner will save up to $400 a year on energy bills. With this in mind most insulation retro-fits pay themselves off within a few years.
  • It makes your home quieter. A well-insulated building can "envelope" your living space, making it quieter by blocking outdoor noise sources. Environmental reason: there is less need for heating and cooling which saves non-renewable resources and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. You will use less energy, and as such, help in Governments aim to have Australian households running at a 2 star energy rating by 2010
