Insulmax®
Your Accessible
Ceiling

Heat loss through the ceiling accounts for the largest portion of heat loss from a home.

If your ceiling is uninsulated or needs a top-up, you could be losing precious heat and wasting energy and money. Conventional ceiling insulation can be difficult to install without gaps and joins particularly in low and tight access roof spaces.  Roof timbers should be covered to reduce heat loss through them. Insulmax® ceiling insulation can be installed in any suitable ceiling and is the ideal solution for low pitch roof structures. Insulmax® ceiling insulation is a water-resistant, high quality, soft white mineral wool manufactured to insulate roof spaces.

The blown blanket insulation system of Insulmax® insulates the entire ceiling and fills all corners and crevices with no voids or gaps, making it more effective than conventional segment or blanket products. Installed at almost any thickness, we can suit your individual requirements of insulation R rating and budget.

Why insulate your ceiling?

Ceiling insulation will keep your home warmer, drier and healthier. A home with no insulation has been estimated to loose around 40% of it's heat through the ceiling making them the first area that home owners should consider when increasing their homes insulation. Insulmax® can be installed at almost any thickness allowing ceilings to be completely insulated or topped up to achieve current standards. 

Insulating your ceiling space reduces heat loss from your home allowing it to retain more heat making it warmer and easier to heat.  Heating bills can be reduced and your home will feel drier, quieter and generally a more confortable and healthy place to live.  When you’re in a newer home, you’ll notice how easy it is to maintain a comfortable, dry and healthy indoor environment. Insulmax® can make this a reality in your older home as we increase your homes insulation to modern standards.

Assessment

Pre-assessment of your home to ensure you and your family get the full benefit of Insulmax®.

Assessment

An Insulmax® assessor checks your exisitng ceiling insulation and advises on options avaialable to bring the insulation to desired or current insulation standards. Thermal imaging equipment can be use to identify gaps in exisiting insuation which my be difficult to access from the roof space.  A quotation can be provided for various options to suit budget and requirements.

Some downlights, transformers and other heat sources cannot be covered by insulation. Our process identifies these and achieves recommended practices of clearances. Insulmax® ceiling insulation is compatible with all heat transfer and heat recovery systems.

 

Installation

Insulmax® ceiling insulation is quick and easy to install with minimum disruption to your home

Installation

Insulmax® blown mineral fibre insulation can be very quicky and easily installed in the tightest of roof cavities. 

The amount of insulation installed is speciifed by the manufacturer in the form of a coverage chart which gives the number of 16.6kg bags of insulation required to achieve the desired insulation value in your roof area.   

By installing the quoted number of bags and not to a specified thickness the customer can be assured that their roof space is being installed correctly according to the quotation.

Wish I had done it years ago. The difference it has made to my 1930‘s bungalow is amazing not to mention the added benefit of traffic noise reduction.

We now no longer dread the winter months. The benefits are incredible! My son has not required hospitals visits for croup since installation. We no longer use the dehumidifier at all. Our winter power bill has gone from $300 to around $150 a month. The damp smell has gone after rainfall. The house is super quiet. We use much less fire wood… Which is another huge saving. The heat pump only goes on super super cold nights and turned on at 5.30am just to take any chill off. No mould on walls! No wet walls in our bedroom! This was the best thing we have done to our house. We have a healthy home for our young family!

I love our wall insulation. Our home was very cold and very hard to heat. Now we are finding our heat pump is on less and on a lower setting. Our children are sleeping better and longer!

Our house has never felt so warm in the 7 years we've lived in it. The heat pump isn't going full steam like it used to, our children are saying that they're all sleeping better, we're not waking up to damp bedrooms, we're coming home to a house that feels cosy and we've found that the house is more sound proof.

Last night was probably the first night the temp really dipped down at night and in the early morning since you guys put in the insulation and we definitely felt a difference! Bedroom wasn't anywhere near as cold as it usually is when the frosts come so hurray! The house is lovely and snug.

So we went ahead and got Insulmax® put in the walls and that first night was an eye-opener what a difference it made, for the first time in the twenty years of living in this house my wife said the room got too hot and had to turn off the electric fire. We have also redecorated. So having Insulmax® in our walls has given us smaller power bills and a house that is now a lovely warm and cosy home.
