Jim’s Insulation Services 3 • Insulating only your ceiling is not the complete solution. You are only addressing one third of your homes heat loss and gain. • There is a 99% chance you are only reducing one third of heat loss and gain as most roof insulation does not meet the current insulation standards due to it being old and laid incorrectly and a lot of insulation in existing homes has been disturbed by tradespeople. Old insulation in homes generally does not have an effective rating of R1 when R4.1 is the current standard for most of the southern half of Australia. woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
Jim’s Insulation Services 4 Common poorly installed insulation jobs we encounter and repair. Two solutions: 1. The expensive solution remove & replace with new insulation. 2. The best solution & half the cost, fill the gaps & top up to the current standard. woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
Jim’s Insulation Services 5 The Best Solution 1. Fill the gaps that cut the effective insulation rating in half 2. Cover the ceiling joists to stop thermal bridging and a further 10% – 30% loss of efficiency 3. Top up to current standard with Woolcell Woolcell Insulation woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
Jim’s Insulation Services 6 The 2 nd Best Solution 1. With the old existing ceiling batts laid between the ceiling joists, lay the top up batt (or preferably insulation roll) across the ceiling joists perpendicular to the path of the first layer of batts 2. This covers the ceiling joists to stop thermal bridging and a further 10% – 30% loss of efficiency 3. Top up to current standard woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
Jim’s Insulation Services 7 1. Lay thick batts or top up batts all between the ceiling joists 2. This allows thermal Bridging 3. For example R4 insulation laid between ceiling joists at 450 centres will only provide an effective insulation of R2.8 and probably a lot less than this if there are any gaps between the batts and the ceiling joists. 4. Unfortunately it is often difficult with Australian roofs to lay the batts this way due to low pitched roofs and cramped trussed roofs, The Worst especially in the presence of ducted air conditioning (but cheapest solution) woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
Jim’s Insulation Services 8 What do we recommend to improve the comfort level and energy efficiency of your house? Make sure your roof insulation is the best it can be (we recommend our 1. exclusive Woolcell product). Insulate your walls (we recommend our exclusive Insulbloc product). 2. Insulate your windows with good curtains and blinds, with pelmets if 3. necessary. Insulate under your timber floor with R2.0 polyester insulation. 4. Block up all areas that create drafts. 5. The above will guarantee you the most comfortable and cost effective lifestyle. 28/05/2013 woolcell Presentation (2)

Jim’s Insulation Services 10 Why do we recommend Woolcell Insulation? NO GAPS The previous charts do not take into account the gap factor or thermal bridging that occurs through ceiling Joists From our experience most insulation batt jobs have between 2% - 10% gaps A good job can be described as having only 2.5% gaps woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
Jim’s Insulation Services 11 Why do we recommend Woolcell Insulation? NO Thermal Bridging With no insulation covering the ceiling joists (see opposite) thermal bridging across the joists can result in significant loss of effective R value. For example R4 insulation placed between 450 ceiling joists can reduce the R value by 30% to R2.8! woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
Jim’s Insulation Services 12 Why do we recommend Woolcell Insulation? More Fire Resistant In 1995 National Research Centre Canada tested floor- ceiling assemblies and found that cellulose increased fire resistance more than twice as well as fibreglass. The report stated: "Glass, mineral, and cellulose fibre insulations produced an increase in the fire resistance performance of 44%, 64%, and 104%." The lowest failure point for a fibreglass-insulated floor-ceiling assembly was 64 minutes; the lowest failure point for an assembly insulated with cellulose was 92 minutes. woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
Jim’s Insulation Services 13 Why do we recommend Woolcell Insulation? Woolcell Absorbs moisture and reduces mould, mildew and fungi 1. Woolcell’s hydroscopic nature will wick moisture from the adjacent building materials and promotes overall drying of the adjacent building materials. 2. The boric acid fire retardant inhibits mould formation within the insulation and on the surfaces of adjacent building materials. woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
Jim’s Insulation Services 14 Why do we recommend Woolcell Insulation? Woolcell - A healthier alternative Woolcell does not have any health warnings, contains no asbestos, fibreglass or formaldehydes and gives off no CFCs. Woolcell helps reduce ‘Sick Building Syndrome’. Woolcell does not contain any dangerous or irritating fibres unlike some glasswool/fibreglass insulation. woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013

Jim’s Insulation Services 16 Why do we recommend Woolcell Insulation? Woolcell Has no stigma associated with: • Cancer • DNA Damage • Genetic Mutations Fiberglass/glasswool insulation manufactured before 2001 was not bio- soluable. We recommend it be replaced or encapsulated for health reasons & because it no longer meets with current insulation standards & probably has an insitu rating of about TR1.5 not the recommended TR4.1 for most areas. woolcell Presentation (2) 28/05/2013
