Retrofit Wall Insulation

January 5, 2014 by Administrator

We would like to retrofit our standard brick veneer home (Tasmania) built in 1970. Having a good insulation is our priority. Please can you clarify the following:

Q: Why choose EcoFoam Cavity Wall Insulation over Rockwool

A: EcoFoam retrofit wall insulation is a product that is specifically designed to be used for this application. It is pumped into the cavity as a foam with the consistency of shaving cream and then sets into a very lightweight solid that never settles or sags over time.

Q: What R Value can we expect after insulation

A: This will depend on the existence of sisalation or wall paper which determines the thickness of the injected insulation. If none present, then an R-value in excess of R4.0 can be expected in a brick veneer wall cavity

Q: What damages are done during the process

A: This depends on whether the installation is done from the internal wall side or the external wall side. If done externally through unrendered facebrick then only repair of small filling holes in the mortar is required. If the application is done from the internal walls, then patch and repair of the plaster will be required

 Q. Do we have to repaint the inside walls after

A: Refer to above

Q. Do we have to do anything with the power points

A: An electrical inspection and preparation is part and parcel of our application method.

Shed Insulation

January 5, 2014 by Administrator

Q: I have a shed 5.5 x 5.6 that I’m looking to have insulated. Is there a difference in price for inter/ exterior roof insulation? also, which methods provides the best insulation from heat? I will have animals inside the shed and need as much insulation from heat as possible.

A: There are quite a few factors to consider in determining whether an internal or external application will be more cost effective. In general, it is more cost effective to install the spray foam insulation direct to the underside of the roof. This eliminates the need for additional UV protective coatings that would be required if the sprayfoam was applied ontop of the roof. You then have to consider the interior access conditions and the amount of masking (if required) to existing equipment/surfaces inside the spray area. Both methods would provide very similar results in terms of the effectiveness of the insulation. The external application would technically provide a slightly better result by the fact that the heat is hitting a painted foam surface as opposed to a metal roof but this is normally offset by the reduced cost of an internal application which can be applied slightly thicker to offset the difference.

Another Satisfied Customer

“My name is Greg and I live in Canberra. My house is over 50 years old and only had insulation in the roof – nothing in the walls or under the raised timber floor. Towards the end of winter 2011, I crawled under my house and installed batt insulation as I was tired of having cold timber floors in the living areas. Prior to this, during winter 2011, my family and I were running the central heating at approx 24-25 degrees and wearing nothing less than a thick jumper, long pants and ugg boots to combat the cold coming up through the floors.

The thermo cline throughout the house due to the cold under the house was nothing I had ever experienced before. Our feet were ALWAYS cold and our heating bill alone was well over $1200 per quarter as it was almost running constantly to try and maintain a comfortable temperature Winter 2012, the batts I spent a painful 8 hours installing made absolutely no difference. They were R2.5 batts, installed correctly as per manufacturer instructions. So I looked for a proper alternative. Having watched a number of (don’t laugh) Holmes on Homes shows on foxtel, I was interested in the spray foam he used in a number of renovation projects and couldn’t speak highly enough of… this led me to You Tube and then to Eco Foam… I have since had under my floors and external walls sprayed with foam and the difference is absolutely amazing ! we now run the heating at 19 degrees and it does not come on very often to maintain the warmth.

There is no thermo cline in my house. There is no cold air at “feet level”, all rooms are the same temperature from floor to ceiling. The guys that came to spray the foam were fantastic. Worked like demons and did a fantastic job. It took them approx 7 hours to do the floors as there is not a lot of room under the house, but they got into every nook and cranny – yes guys, I got under and checked! I can’t speak highly enough of them and I can’t recommend them enough to everyone. ALSO, we had really bad condensation on all of our windows and as a result, really bad mould on the window frames and curtains – we ended up getting rid of the curtains as they got too bad. We had all sorts of experts give us all sorts remedies for the problem, but nothing worked. After having the walls sprayed, the condensation has completely stopped and no more mould. The cost of the foam is absolutely worth every cent. Please feel free to put this up on the website and pass on my contact details if anyone would like to chat… -Canberra, ACT
