Advantages
Thinking of purchasing home insulation?
Well then, there are only two avenues for to explore - Radiant Barriers (technology commomly known as reflective) or ordinary traditional bulk insulation ie. Fibreglass, wastepaper/cellulose, wool, polyester, seaweed. sawdust, ash etc.
How do I decide? The answer is simple, think of it this way, if you wanted to stay dry while standing in the rain, what could you do? You could use two different methods:
1. A big fluffy towel, made from cotton, wool, paper, polyester etc.
2. An umbrella, both would appear to work as well as each other at first. But eventually, the towels would soak up too much water and leak. The umbrella, however, would 'repel' the water and keep you dry indefinitely. The same principle applies when talking about radiant heat transfer. Both, 'bulk' and 'radiant barrier' systems, will appear to work well at first, but eventually the 'bulk' insulation will soak up too much heat and become less effective. It will also hold this heat and may make your home comparatively hotter during the summer nights . But a 'radiant barrier' system will repel the heat indefinitely - whether that means keeping it out in summer or in your home during winter. Silverline radiant barriers do not store unwanted heat within themselves.
Other Advantages
1. Particularly good for people with allergies, because it's safe, clean and has no fluff or fibre.
2. Extremely light and will not cause any sagging plaster damage. 100m2 of Silverline radiant barrier can weigh less than 12kg - this means there is no weight on the plaster ceiling. Some types of bulk insulation can result in hundreds of kilograms of material pressing directly on the back of the plaster - this causes sagging.
3. Won't retain water or moisture and will not create an environment for mildew or mould growth. (Some other insulations can cause ceiling damage and become an electrical hazard because they retain water and moisture).
4. Won't encourage vermin of any type, (just imagine how some paper and natural fibre products could attract mice, cockroaches and other types of pests to your home).
5. Excellent ignitability rating of 0 - Therefore will not burn. (On a scale of 0-20. Some other products are rated as high as 17).
6. Environmentally friendly so you can be sure you are doing the right thing by our environment. (Some other products contain dangerous chemicals and if they are ever removed from your house, under law they must be disposed of as dangerous waste).
So why choose Silverline over another brand of insulation?
Well, hopefully we have given you enough information so you consider using Silverline 'radiant barrier' system as opposed to the old 'bulk' insulation system. But If you're still not sure, we have some amazing tests and demonstrations that you'll want to see, please call 1800 637 363 for a free demo.
Why should you choose Silverline over another radiant barrier or 'reflective' brands?
Apart from our extra service and guarantees, there are two important reasons:
1. Construction design and quality
2. Performance & efficiency over the long term.
While many other radiant barrier brands are excellent in concept, they sometimes fall apart in design and construction . Some brands of batts work on a design system that can result in collapse over time, (they will also be severely damaged if walked on, when working in a ceiling). This collapsing, decreases the insulating ability enormously.
Some other products are difficult to work into all the ceiling cavity areas. Gaps of just 5% can decrease the effectiveness of insulation by as much as 30%.
Silverline will work effectively years after installation - we guarantee it . Futhermore , if you ever have work done in the ceiling (maybe some new light fittings installed by an electrician) and there is ever any damage (occasionally you'll find a careless tradesman who might cut through the insulation to make his job easier) we'll come and fix it for FREE just call Silverline (conditions apply).
Silverline is clean, safe, effective & no fluff, fibre or chemicals.
You may like to ask our consultants some very direct questions, eg.
- How much radiant heat can be stopped coming through into my home.
- What will be the expected temperature in my home?
- How long does it last?
- What does it cost?
