Ceiling Home Insulation Services Dallas TX like aerolite and isotherm become the heat flow barrier between your roof tiles and ceiling and prevents heat from passing through, keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Homes that have been well designed and insulated with insulation that meets the requirements, will give you year round comfort and will cut the cost of heating and cooling your home by nearly half which in turn reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Climatic conditions will also influence the appropriate level and thickness needed to be installed. You will need to establish if you are trying to keep the heat in, out or both. Ceiling insulations are effective against daily temperature change as well as seasonal.
Another important factor is design technique. If ceiling insulation is installed in a place that does not have any shading or curtains thick enough to block out morning and afternoon sun, you could get a reverse effect, heat that comes in through the windows or doors can get trapped inside and create an oven effect.

Ceilings, floors and roofs have a small thermal resistance on their own but not enough to be compliant with the sans 10400-xa building laws
Different climatic zones require different R-values needed to be achieved in order to be compliant with sans 10400-xa building laws
When choosing the right ceiling insulation, there are two main categories to choose from – reflective or bulk insulation. In order to get even a greater insulating affect, reflective and bulk insulations are often combined. Examples of combined insulation would be factorylite which is aerolite combined with a reflective insulation or isofoil which is isotherm combined with a reflective insulation. The R-value of the product determines the products ability to resist heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better insulating affect you will get out of the product.
