Gold Ceiling insulation can be installed when you’re building a new home, during renovations or to an existing home at a later date as long as there is access to the ceiling space. If this applies to you, you're in the perfect place to start considering how Bradford insulation can help you achieve a house design that is fundamentally modern, ecologically rich, smart, and will remain so for years to come.
You can lose up to 42% of the heat in your home through the ceilings in winter and around the same amount of heat can enter in through the ceilings during summer. Bradford Gold™ insulation essentially acts as a barrier to slow down this process and makes a substantial different to the temperature you will feel inside, meaning you can live more comfortably.
R-values are the measuring tool we use to rate the level of thermal resistance. Essentially, the higher the R-Value the more effective the insulation is. Bradford Gold ceiling segments are available in R-Values from R1.8 – R7.3 so you can choose the level of insulation that best suits your needs.
The glasswool we use is made up of very thin glass fibres that are spun like fairy floss to create millions of air pockets. These air pockets are very poor conductors of heat and resist the flow of air or radiation through the insulation.
Unlike other forms of heating and cooling control, insulation requires no maintenance or replacement. It will work as well as the day it was installed years from now.
Insulation is now considered essential to keeping inside temperatures comfortable all year round and making your home more energy efficient. As a general rule, if installed properly you will only have to install it once in your home, during construction or when you’re renovating. At Bradford, we believe that if you’re going to only do it once you should do it right by using the best materials and with the best technology.
