Description
Improved thermal insulation, more energy savings!
Knauf Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts are pre-cut rectangular batts for roof insulation. They aid in thermal insulation and temperature regulation in the home. As a result, it is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This also reduces energy consumption significantly.
R3.5 Insulation is Best for New or Existing Homes
Earthwool R3.5 thermal insulation batts are simple to install in both new and old homes. When installing in a new home, it’s usually easier to install the insulation batts (from underneath) before installing the ceiling lining. Existing homes (retrofit) usually do not have this option, so the insulation bags must be installed through the ceiling space, which is usually accessed through the manhole.
Ceiling insulation is available in a variety of widths and thicknesses to accommodate standard joist height and spacing. Earthwool ceiling insulation is available in compressed form (insulation batts) for easy transportation. Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts come in sturdy poly bags with simple instructions for installing ceiling insulation in your home.
Before you begin, don’t forget to watch our DIY Videos, which contain a wealth of useful tips and tricks for DIY installers. R3.5 Knauf Insulation batts can be used in residential timber and metal frame applications. Knauf Earthwool ceiling insulation, like all bulk insulation, reduces the transmission of some outside noise into the home. All Knauf Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts are odourless, non-combustible, rot proof, non-hygroscopic, will not support vermin, and will not promote the growth of fungi, mould, or bacteria in your roof.
What are Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts?
Earthwool is comparable to glasswool. The recycled glass and sand used to make the Knauf Earthwool Ceiling Insulation. Instead of chemical binders, a bio-based binder is used to make the batts. In addition, no chemical dyes are used. The earthwool ceiling insulation batts that result are both sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Because these insulation batts are non-combustible, they are fire-resistant. In contrast to glasswool insulation, which causes discomfort and itchiness when handled, earthwool is a practical insulation material. These earthwool ceiling insulation batts are soft and rarely irritate the user. If there is any irritation from the fibres rubbing against the skin, a cold-water rinse can help.
About installing Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts
Earthwool ceiling insulation batts come in two varieties: single layer and double layer.
Single-layer installations are more common, though double-layer installations are sometimes preferred. One more layer of insulation is added at 90° to the ceiling joists in double-layer insulation.
The use of a second layer of insulation helps to seal any gaps left by the first layer. It also mitigates the effect of thermal bridging, which is the loss of insulation through the ceiling’s construction material.
What are the benefits of using Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts?
The following are the primary advantages of using Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts.
1. Environment-friendly insulation
Knauf Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts are made of recycled glass and sand, which accounts for up to 80% of the total weight. These batts contain no harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde or phenol. Furthermore, no dyes are used in the production of these eco-friendly batts.
2. Ease of installation
Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts are extremely soft to the touch. They do not itch as much as glasswool insulation. These batts are pre-cut into rectangular shapes and are extremely simple to install. Installing these batts in the ceiling is simple for do-it-yourselfers.
3. Thermal insulation
Heat transfer due to conduction and convection is prevented by the bulk insulation. It prevents heat transfer from the ceiling, improving overall thermal insulation. Heat loss in the winter and heat entry into the building in the summer are both prevented.
4. Fire resistance
Earthwool is not flammable. The earthwool ceiling insulation batts are completely fire and shock resistant.
5. Durability
Earthwool Ceiling Insulation Batts have a long lifespan. They are resistant to corrosion and moisture. They also keep rodents and microbial growth at bay.
6. Reduced energy bills
Superior thermal insulation reduces the energy consumption of indoor heating and cooling appliances, resulting in significant savings on energy bills.
