the answers to great home insulation
Ask yourself this question.
“If all insulations were created equal then why isn’t your home, the 'Bali' summerhouse you’ve always dreamed of?”
If your woolly attic insulation was ‘on top of its game’ then your attic would be a heat vault keeping cold out and your hard earned and expensive heat in. If your 'sheet' wall insulation was regularly ‘scoring goals’ then your room temperature wouldn’t drop like a lead balloon as soon as you switched off the heating .If your floor insulation was regularly making the ‘first eleven’, instead of being on the ‘subs bench’ then you wouldn't have to 'hopscotch' around your kitchen floor on a winters morning, because your floor felt like a Siberian Ice rink.It doesn’t matter if you’re building new or renovating, the decision you make on your insulation will have the biggest impact on your comfort factor within your home, office or building .
So what 'feel' do you want for your home, today?
• Alaska or Arizona
• Siberia or Sicily
• Newfoundland or New Mexico
You really get only one shot to get your insulation right. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to ‘get it right’, pick the best, and SUPERINSULATE your home.Let’s be candid here, the simple fact is, most roll and sheet insulations are paper tigers,they look great on paper but when faced with the onslaught of Irish weather they just 'throw in the towel, wave the white flag of surrender and 'sue for a non conditional surrender' To be fair it’s not entirely the fault of roll and sheet insulations. It’s all in the small print.
It was a wise old barrister that once said "the smaller the print the greater the hazard"Let’s look for example at those woolly roll insulations that you can buy cheap, and by the truckload at your local hardware store or just about anywhere.They perform great in laboratory conditions and score incredible U values. Get them out into the real world and they fall down badly, literally. You see the small print says these roll insulations don’t like to get damp, wet or soggy and if they do then its lights out for them as insulation. These roll type woolly insulations don’t really like to be hung vertical, because they tend to droop sag and worst of all compress. If they compress and sag, guess what happens to their U values?.
Another thing woolly roll type insulations are bad at is filling into the typical openings that are in your attic and walls. Fine on straight long runs, but throw a few duct openings at them, a few ‘timber noggins’ in the way of that long straight run and roll insulations are in a flap ‘literally’ . It makes sense when we tell you that a good insulation has to be airtight . If it’s not completely airtight then cold, damp draughts can get in around your roll type insulations and destroy the U values, which on paper you thought you had. Its ‘horses for courses’. If your home, office or building happens to be in a climate zone that’s damp, wet and soggy 200+ days a year (sounds like Irish weather) then you’d be crazy to expose an insulation that can’t cope with those conditions, to just that. And that’s exactly what happens in your attic. You need a SUPER INSULATION system that can ‘laugh’ at dampness and ‘hard shoulder’ freezing cold breezes, out of the way, for life, permanently, no sagging, no warping, no falling down on the job Take the trapdoor challenge today. Dig out your step ladder, get up there, pick up a handful of your woolly roll type insulation and ‘feel it’. Is it damp? Does it feel a bit soggy? Does it look like it has compressed and sagged? Ask yourself this, then; Does your attic feel draughty ? Can you feel air moving in there? If the answer to most of the above challenges is yes, then my friend you have been sold a pup and as any dog handler will tell you “you never send a pup to do a dog’s work”.
“But what about my sheet insulation then. They’re pretty good.?” Again on paper the story reads really well, great U values and big thick bulky sheets. What could go wrong there?You see it’s these exact sheets that are causing the problem. Let’s put it this way, you wouldn’t buy a Nordic Trekking fleece if it didn’t have a zipper, didn’t have some way to seal the opening in the front, together, You’d freeze when the wind got up Right? . It’s no different for sheet insulation.
Here’s the deal GAPS AND JOINTS destroy U values
Sheet insulations don’t have windproof zippers, and the last time we checked there was no adequate seal system to ensure continuity of U values along those joints. Sure your builder will do his best to tape over those joints, butt the sheets together, cut them as cleanly as possible, but the truth be known it’s a compromise, its a best of a bad lot solution. In your attic joists, in your walls creating a perfect seal using board insulations is a bit like trying to clean your ears with an ice pick, sew a silk blouse with 9 inch nails, wash your face with a sweeping brush as face flannel It can be done but it will never look pretty.
There’s just too many joints to be sealed properly and if you get just one joint wrong, it’s like leaving out a welcome sign for Cold draughts to come in and visit, and displaying a “party on here’ fluorescent sign for dampness, to waltz in and stay for free.What you need is a ‘tailor made solution. An insulation that’s seamless, and custom made to seal your walls, your attic your basement floors like.
