Energy Efficiency: Dealing with unwanted heat flow in and out of the roof.
The chances are good that the average home or office would benefit enormously from adding cellulose ceiling insulation, even where there is an exising layer of insulation present.
WHY? Let me explain:
Many existing insulation systems compress with time with the load of dust and humidity in the roofspace, hence becoming much less effective in trapping dormant air and thus losing R-values.
Eco-Insulation teams have been involved several times in the removal of old glass mat insulation and its replacement, or simply pumped a new layer of cellulose on top of the non-performing old product.
See the image (above, left) of one of our Teams replacing a popular brand of glass insulation at a client in Gauteng, South Africa.
Then there is the matter of coverage. The best product is one that distributes itself naturally into every corner, recess and cavity above the ceiling and so ensures that there are no uncovered sections of the ceiling through which heat may enter or escape. Eco-Insulation is excellent in this regard, due to our unique delivery system.
