Description
SCG Green Ceiling Insulation Batts
SCG Green is made up of a thermosetting resin and a lightweight and resilient glasswool blend. Its flexibility, good recovery, and thickness consistency provide a consistent R-Value. AS/NZS 4859 is used in the production of SCG Green. SCG Green is available in a variety of R-Values and is an excellent thermal and acoustic insulation that can be installed above the ceiling and in wall partitions in both commercial and residential buildings.
The SCG Insulation range features some of the most popular insulation products available for ceilings. Since up to 35% of a home’s thermal energy can escape through the ceiling or roof, this area should be the primary focus of any insulation project. SCG batts are available in various widths and thicknesses to fit common joist heights and spacing. For convenient transport, R4.0 SCG Green insulation is available in compressed packs. If you plan on installing ceiling insulation on your own, be sure to check out SCG’s DIY installation videos before beginning. SCG Green Ceiling Batts are an excellent option for DIY homeowners who wish to save money by reducing their energy bills.
Cost effective delivery and easy installation
While there are several home insulation options available, SCG Insulation batts rank among the top choices for their easy delivery and installation process. SCG Green Ceiling Insulation Batts provide a cost-effective thermal and acoustic barrier and are suitable for use in timber and metal frame applications in residential structures. As with all home insulation, SCG Green ceiling insulation also reduces noise transmission within the home. SCG Green Ceiling Insulation Batts have no odor, are non-combustible and rot-proof, and do not absorb airborne moisture or provide a habitat for vermin, fungi, mold, or harmful bacteria.
Environmentally Friendly Glasswool
SCG insulation products are GECA certified and made of fibreglass, demonstrating that they are environmentally friendly and have a low impact on human health. The SCG Acoustic Insulation Batt range is a newer generation of glasswool insulation batts that are softer, safer, and more environmentally friendly. SCG’s environmental commitment is demonstrated by their eco-friendly product development concept “Green Product from Green Process,” which employs 100% recycled glass as a major raw material. They are an excellent choice for do-it-yourself homeowners who want to save money on energy bills and maintain a more consistent indoor temperature while also sound-proofing their home.
Single or Double Layer of Roof Insulation
Roof insulation can be installed in one or multiple layers. While the common practice is to install insulation as a single layer between the ceiling joists, some homeowners choose to add a layer of insulation perpendicular to the direction of the joists. This approach has both advantages and disadvantages, so it’s essential to consider them before deciding on the two-layer strategy.
The two main benefits of the double layer approach are:
- It seals any gaps that may have been missed during the installation of the first layer
- It negates the effect of thermal bridging.
However, the double layer approach also has two main disadvantages:
- It takes longer to install, although not necessarily twice as long
- It can be challenging to access the roof space as the supporting joists are not entirely hidden from view.
Why Are Insulation Bags so Heavy?
If you have experience working with glasswool roof insulation but are installing SCG Green for the first time, you might think that the bag is wet due to its weight of up to 18kg. However, this weight is not due to moisture, but rather because of the compression technology used to pack the insulation in the poly bags. One bag of SCG Green roof insulation can contain up to twice the square meters of insulation compared to many other common brands, which means fewer bags for installers to transport into the roof space. SCG batts are undoubtedly a convenient choice!
