Choosing the right insulation is important. You need confidence that the product installed delivers on the performance that is promised. Whether building a new home or undertaking alterations or additions to existing homes, insulating walls and ceilings with Bradford Gold will provide peace of mind and lasting benefits to the homeowner.
Uninsulated homes can lose up to 35% of heat through the ceilings in winter and around the same amount of heat can also enter in during summer. Bradford Gold ceiling insulation batts acts as a thermal barrier to slow down temperature change to the inside of your home. Similarly, effective insulation in external walls can reduce energy used for heating and cooling by up to 20%, leading to a decrease in energy consumption and in energy bills.
Manufactured from recycled glass, Bradford Gold is made up of very thin glass fibres that are spun like fairy floss to create millions of air pockets. These air pockets are poor conductors of heat or cold air, making glasswool extremely effective at trapping the air inside the batts to keep your home comfortable – cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
To rate the level of thermal resistance, or general efficacy of insulation, we refer to the R-value. Simply put, the higher the R-value the more effective the insulation is at trapping the air. Bradford Gold ceiling batts are available in R-Values from R2.5 to R4.1 and even up to R7.0 in our Gold Hi-Performance range. The level you choose will depend on the area and climate zone in which you’re building – the more extreme or prone to fluctuation the temperatures, the higher the R-value recommended. Available in 430mm and 580mm widths, Bradford Gold batts are pre-cut and packed to suit most common ceiling joist and wall stud widths of Aussie homes.
