Tips For Insulation Installers

  • Installation of insulation in a new home or
    adding extra insulation to an existing dwelling
    place make a substantial change to your comfort
    as well as energy performance of your home.
    However, its very important for insulation to be
    correctly installed.

There are a number of issues you need to consider
to install insulation without any compromise on
the effectiveness.
  • Thermal Bridging
  • Vapor Barriers
  • Roof Ventilation
  • Insulation Gaps
  • Bulk Insulation

4
Thermal Bridging
  • The building structure can be used as the thermal
    bridge, especially in cold temperatures to
    conduct heat and allow it to circumvent otherwise
    effective insulation.

5
Vapor Barriers
  • Insulation installers must ensure all joints and
    edges are glued to bar moisture. Vapor barriers
    must always be installed on the warm side of the
    insulation.

6
Roof Ventilation
  • To allow dissipation of heat buildup, ventilate
    the roof space wherever possible. Ventilation is
    essential even in cooler climates to allow for
    buildup moisture to discharge.

7
Insulation Gaps
  • In any kind of insulation gaps must be avoided. A
    very tiny gap can reduce the insulation value
    greatly. Ensure butts are tightly fitted and no
    gaps left around pipes and ducts.

8
Bulk Insulation
  • Compression of bulk insulation diminishes its
    efficiency. Moisture must also be barred from
    bulk insulation, else, its performance will
    greatly reduce and in case of condensation risk
    insulation installers are advised to use vapor
    barrier.
