What does a roof insulation service include?
Roof insulation may seem like a simple process - measure, cut, and install. But effective insulation installation requires a professional to consider a number of issues, like the building frame, ventilation, air gaps, and vapour barriers. Your installers will then choose the best type of insulation for your climate and home and organise installation for you. Here are some common types of insulation service and what you can expect from each:
Bulk insulation
Bulk insulation is the most common type of insulation because of its availability and effectiveness. It works by trapping millions of air pockets that resist heat. This type of insulation can come in batts, boards, or loose-fill, and can be produced from a variety of materials. Your installer will climb into your roof cavity to access the ceiling and measure the required dimensions. Next, they’ll cut the material to the right size and install your insulation. They’ll be careful to avoid compressing the bulk insulation, as the compression can reduce air pockets and compromise the material’s insulation ability.
Batts insulation
Many consider batts insulation as the best format for bulk insulation. This type of insulation often comes in rolls and is easy to transport and carry. Ceiling batts insulation can be made from a range of materials, including natural wool, polyester, fibreglass, and rockwool. Your installer will help you choose the best option based on your budget, environmental concerns, the potential for fire hazards, and other factors. They’ll install your insulation batts, ensuring no gaps between insulation. When they’re finished, they’ll clean up the area and any tools used.
Board insulation
Board insulation has a high insulating value for a relatively small thickness. This type of insulation is useful in buildings where there is very little space between the ceiling and the roof. It’s most popular for commercial buildings. Board insulation usually comes in polystyrene or polyisocyanurate (PIR). Polyisocyanurate is a thermoset, rigid foam, typically with reflective foil laminate on one or both sides, and has excellent fire and moisture absorption properties. Polystyrene is generally used for buildings where thermal performance is required because of its exceptional compressive strength. Your installer will recommend the most suitable materials for your building.
Loose-fill insulation
Loose-fill can be used in ceilings, however, it can settle over time and lose effectiveness. Loose-fill is best used for adding insulation to the nooks and crannies around irregularly shaped areas and obstructions. The most common materials for this type of insulation include cellulose, fibreglass, and mineral wool (rock or slag). Your installer will recommend the best type of loose-fill depending on the weather conditions and temperature ranges in your home.
Reflective foil insulation
Reflective foil works by reducing the heat transfer across enclosed spaces. This material works most effectively when the shiny surface faces inwards towards an enclosed space - like in most roofs. Your installer may use reflective foil on its own or with bulk insulation for an effective ‘hybrid insulation’. The roof insulation installation process is similar to the ceiling insulation installation, however, the installer will use a staple gun to apply the material to the roof. The most commonly used materials for this type of insulation include wall wrap, aluminium foil adhered to paper or plastic substrate, concertina batts, foiled cardboard, and/or foiled bubble wrap.

Inspection - Install PIR Insulation floor
$20
Brunswick VIC, Australia
29th Jun 2024
I am seeking assistance to install approximately 70 square meters of 60mm PIR insulation in a continuous layer beneath the floor. The clearance under the house ranges from the highest clearance of approximately 100 cm and the lowest is around 40 cm. (probably <10m2 has low clearance) The house is already well insulated, and this additional layer of insulation is necessary as the builder couldn't complete it due to COVID-related delays between 2021 and 2022. The insulation should be installed fixed to the joists to ensure a continuous layer without gaps between batts. Some areas will require cutting around new PVC pipes. Materials provided include: 60mm PIR insulation boards (2400x1200mm), tape, and fixings. At this stage, the task involves inspecting and providing a final quote. The final job will be posted through Airtasker at a later stage. High-quality workmanship is essential; Patchy work will not be accepted. Liability insurance and demonstrated experience are required to qualify for the job. Please provide some photos of similar job Experience Initial estimate

Need a professional to insulate our single-story house roof with insulation. I think R6 is about right but open to discussion. Description • Area: Building area is approx 247 sqm. Not sure what this equates to roof area wise. • Access: The roof has decent access through the ceiling of a bedroom. • Timing: Looking to have the work done sooner than later, as we are looking to install ducted heating shortly afterwards. However, flexible with dates as we want a good job done right. Please mention your availability when responding. • Installer should have all necessary licences, permits, tools and equipment for the installation. If you need additional details, ask away. Please respond with your previous experience in insulation and your proposed timeline. Thanks

* This is a repost as previous task was expired Remove and dispose wall plaster, insulation and carpet There was a bad rainwater leak in my bedroom which made the plaster wall and carpet wet. They are now dry. I want to remove the wall plaster, insulation batts and portion of the carpet and underlay, so that I can inspect for mould and put in new insulation batts, plaster wall and carpet afterwards. Its only one side of the wall in the bedroom. The wall has a window. Size of the wall is 266cm x 480cm. Size of the window is 270cm x 112cm. See attached photos. I'm thinking the areas where there are electrical, phone outlets, and connection to aircon, to leave the wall plaster around them as it is and not remove it. Maybe like a 10-20cm margin. Bedroom is on the 3rd floor in a small townhouse. For the carpet, remove the carpet and carpet underlay about 50cm away from the wall, for the entire length of the wall You need to provide dropsheets to cover the bed and the floor, as well as a proper cover for the aircon. Place is at Brunswick. Let me know if you have any questions.
