Typical outcomes of an insulation upgrade in an existing home is a 6 to 7 degree Celsius increase in the overnight ambient temperature in winter and approx 5 degrees Celsius cooler in summer.
Ceiling insulation reduces window condensation, reduces heating and cooling costs, and greatly improves the efficiency of ducted heating or air circulation systems. Insulation will compress and become gappy after 15-20 years, where an insulation top-up is required.

Underfloor Insulation

Keep your toes cosy and warm
Don’t let the warmth escape from under your feet, trap it inside and prevent cold draughts in winter.

Underfloor Insulation – A protective layer under your feet

The floorboards will feel closer to room temperature AND stop air draughts – a double bonus. Typically, the overnight ambient winter temperature in a home will increase by about 3.5 degrees Celsius.
With underfloor insulation, the warm air inside is not cooled down by a cold floor, and air leaks between floorboards are blocked.
Don’t rely on carpets to keep you warm. Underfloor insulation batts form a protective barrier against the outside elements, just like having the equivalent of 11 carpets and underlay under your floor.
