Quality Home Insulation: Plenty of Options For Making Your Home More Comfortable And Energy Efficient.
Vac To The Future can turn your home into a comfort zone.
In Canberra's climate, winters are fierce and heating can be expensive. Choose from an extensive range of innovative insulation options and heat lost reduction measures such as draft sealing, to help keep your home warm all winter long.
Insulation Removal: The First Step Of Vac To The Future's Master Plan.
Before you can properly and effectively insulate your home, it's important to firstly deal with what (if any) insulation is already in place. Your existing insulation may be past its useful age and could be exposing your family to health and safety risks. Or acting as a pest hotel.
Knowing your old insulation has been removed and poses no health or safety risks to your family gives you added peace of mind and allows you to start fresh with a home insulated by the latest products.
Cavity Wall Insulation, Add Some Extra Warmth To Your Home.
You might think you're all sorted with your ceiling insulation but 50% of your house's heat escapes through the walls.
Don't despair…there's a solution!
If you have a double brick or brick veneer home, insulation can be piped into the cavity between the brick layers, providing a layer of protection against heat escaping in winter or entering in summer.
Even weatherboard homes can be made more comfortable by accessing the gap between timber studs.
Call Vac To The Future and discover how easy it can be to improve your family's comfort (and lower your heating bills).
A Couple of Insulation Options For You:
1. Glass Wool Insulation, Fast and Efficient Installation.- Glass Wool Insulation is melted glass spun into a mat of fibres and its available in different thicknesses (or R-values), to suit your requirements.
- Glass Wool batts are flexible and easily cut making installation quick and straightforward.
- Once installed, it doesn't release dust or fibres making it an effective, safe choice for your family.
2. Blow In Ceiling Insulation, Simple And Effective.
- Made of finely shredded paper and treated with chemicals to retard fire and to deter insects and rodents, it's pumped or blown into your ceiling.
- The thicker the level pumped in (or R-value) the better insulation you receive.
- Chat with Vac To The Future about an R-value to suit your family and budget
Ventilation & Draft Sealing Makes Sure Your Insulation Helps When It's Most Needed.
Many existing buildings, especially older ones, lose a significant amount of heat via drafts through gaps and cracks. Along with properly insulating your home, the best way to save energy and increase your comfort level is to identify these weak points and deal with them.
Vac To The Future are Canberra's acknowledged experts on insulation removal, installation and retrofitting. As part of a complete service to you, they recommend seeking out and sealing any gaps and cracks through which warm air can escape.
Simply ask Vac To The Future when you call to book an inspection.
In particular look out for:
- Wall vents: Canberra's dry continental climate has no need for wall vents (designed for more humid environments). You can simply have them removed and plastered over.
- Gaps around skirting boards and windows: Cover and seal them to avoid losing warm air through these gaps and warped old fittings.
- Downlights installed in ceilings: Insulation must be carefully placed around downlights, not too close, not too far. A job best done by the insulation experts.
- Exhaust fans: While necessary for kitchen and bathroom ventilation, you can use a hinged cover in the roof cavity or install fans that 'blade close' when inactive.
- Fixed ventilation in bathrooms: Many older houses have a hole or screened window without glass, a fabulous escape route for warm air. Most bathrooms have exhaust fans fitted, making it unnecessary…seal it up fast!
