The best package depends on how your Sydney home is built and where it loses or gains heat. A roof package is the starting point for most homes; roof and underfloor suits homes on raised timber floors, and the full roof, wall and underfloor package suits older homes with no insulation anywhere. A free measure and quote confirms which one fits before you commit.
Matching a Package to Your Sydney Home
The roof is usually the first priority because it’s where the most heat moves in and out of a home. If your ceiling has little, compacted or no insulation, a roof package brings it up to the TR 4.1 rating we recommend for NSW homes, using pump-in Woolcell or batts depending on your roof space.
If your home sits on a raised timber floor, cold air under the house can make floors uncomfortable in winter no matter how well the ceiling is insulated. Adding underfloor insulation alongside the roof is the usual answer for federation homes, older brick and weatherboard houses and other homes with a crawl space. Homes on a concrete slab don’t need it.
Many pre-2000 Sydney homes were built with empty wall cavities. The full package insulates the roof, walls and floor together, often called cocooning the home. Existing walls can be filled with INSULBLOC® without removing plasterboard, so there’s no demolition involved.
Doing more than one area in a single booking also means one visit, one crew of our own employees and one clean-up. If you’re unsure where your home is losing heat, the free measure and quote can include thermal imaging to show the problem areas.
