Description
R6.0 Bradford Gold Hi-Performance Acoustic Ceiling Insulation
Bradford Gold Hi-Performance Ceiling insulation batts are expertly engineered to excel in ceiling applications. The choice of insulation R-Value depends significantly on your specific climate conditions. The term “R-Value” indicates the insulation’s effectiveness in impeding the flow of heat and cold between the interior and exterior of your home. CSR Bradford offers Hi-Performance ceiling batts with R-Values ranging from R5.0 to R7.0, providing the utmost level of protection obtainable in the country.
Why Choose R6.0 Bradford Gold Batts?
Whether you’re seeking to ward off the winter chill in your Snowy Mountain chalet or simply desire ample thermal insulation, R6.0 ceiling insulation might be the perfect solution for you and your home. Due to its substantial volume, cutting this insulation batt can be a bit challenging. If you’re handling the installation yourself, keeping a sharp, long-bladed knife nearby for the task is advisable. One notable advantage of R6.0 ceiling insulation is its ability to minimize thermal bridging. As you position the batts between the ceiling joists, you’ll observe that the upper section of the R6.0 insulation batt, which is nearly 30cm thick, naturally expands slightly on each side, effectively covering a portion of the joist. This reduces the airspace above the timber, consequently enhancing the thermal efficiency of the ceiling insulation. Unlike many other heating and cooling systems, ceiling insulation requires no maintenance or replacement, making it a hassle-free option. We sell the following thermal and acoustic ceiling insulation in the common 430mm and 580mm widths at wholesale prices:
- R5.0 HP Gold™ Hi-Performance Thermal & Acoustic Ceiling Insulation – 240mm thick
- R6.0 HP Gold™ Hi-Performance Thermal & Acoustic Ceiling Insulation – 260mm thick
- R7.0 HP Gold™ Hi-Performance Thermal & Acoustic Ceiling Insulation – 290mm thick
R-Value and the Law of Diminishing Returns
When starting with an un-insulated ceiling, even a relatively low R-Value such as R3.0 can immediately yield energy savings and enhance indoor comfort. Progressing to a higher R-Value like R4.1 would slightly enhance these benefits in most areas, but the difference may be less noticeable. Opting for even higher R-Values such as Bradford Gold R5.0, R6.0, or R7.0 becomes more of a personal preference and may require a more detailed cost-benefit analysis. In general, areas with harsh winter conditions and intense summer heat make it economically justifiable to upgrade to high-performance Bradford Insulation.
Considering the long term, envisioning the next 20 or 30 years, investing in the highest available R-Value today may be economically justified. This is particularly relevant if you anticipate significant rises in electricity prices and expect Australia to experience more extreme weather conditions during that period. Regardless of the chosen R-Value, it’s worth noting that Gold Batts from Bradford come with a 70-year warranty and do not require any maintenance or replacement throughout the lifespan of your home.
It’s also important to highlight that Bradford Insulation has partnered with the National Asthma Council Australia’s “Sensitive Choice” program. This endorsement confirms that Bradford batts are particularly suitable for use in homes of asthma and allergy sufferers. Apart from ceiling insulation, Bradford also manufactures high-quality wall insulation batts and underfloor batts, which can be installed as a DIY project, provided you do thorough research and take the necessary precautions.
