TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Heat moves naturally from areas of high to lower heat within your house, and all the building materials used in your house either absorb heat or help to transfer it. If your home is heated in winter, that hot air will continually try to move to the outside of your house, where the air is cooler. In the summertime, hot air from the outside will constantly try to flow into the cooler space in your house. Insulation works to prevent this transfer of heat. Air is a poor conductor of heat and hence it is an effective insulator, as long as it is not allowed to move. Due its fibrous nature, cellulose traps large volumes of air which acts as a barrier to heat movement.

In summer, the heat beats down on your roof, often making the temperature in your home unbearable. By installing THERMGUARD, you will be able to prevent the heat flowing downwards into your cooler home by up to 89%! Depending on where you live, this will make your home naturally more comfortable to live in, or in very hot areas, reduce your air-conditioning bill considerably. In fact, the insulation will pay for itself within 3 years of installation.

During the freezing winter months, heat is generated in your home by using electric and gas heaters, or in your fire place. THERMGUARD will keep your home warm by retaining the heat generated inside the house, thus reducing your energy costs and improving your comfort. When fitted at 135mm, the reduction in heat flow in winter will be an amazing 92%!
