Commercial Insulation Rockhampton

Insulation works by slowing down the transfer of heat from one area to another; heat naturally flows from warm areas to cooler areas, and insulation helps to reduce this flow. A well-insulated home can provide year-round comfort, cut utility bills and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Insulation has several key benefits including noise reduction, improved air quality, enhanced comfort, moisture prevention, increased property value and energy efficiency.

All offices can benefit from insulation, as it’s an easy, cost-effective way to regulate temperatures. Commercial buildings that aren’t insulated properly can lose heat quickly in colder periods and gain heat rapidly in hotter periods. If you have high monthly energy bills, uncomfortable indoor temperatures or issues with moisture build-up, these could be signs that your office needs insulation.

Insulation reduces the amount of energy needed to heat and cool a building; this makes it a great energy efficiency solution that can help to lower your utility bills.

Insulation prevents drafts and air leaks, which improves indoor air quality by reducing the infiltration of pollutants and allergens. It can also protect a building from elements such as moisture, wind and extreme temperatures.

During construction or renovation are the best times to install insulation because cavities are usually open and easy to access. It becomes more difficult to install insulation once these areas have been sealed, although not impossible. 

While insulation products don’t have an expiry date, like many materials they will gradually become less effective over time and should be replaced when they’re no longer regulating temperatures inside the building. Factors such as extreme weather, mould and pest infestations can contribute to a reduced lifespan but checking the warranty of your product can give a good indication of how long it should last. In some cases, you may be able to install new insulation over old insulation; however, if the old insulation has sustained significant damage, it should be cleared out completely before new insulation is installed.

Our commercial acoustic insulation can help reduce noise levels so you can live and work in peace. When properly installed, these will decrease the amount of noise travelling between rooms and keep outside noises from entering the room or building. 

Insulation can play a role in safeguarding your building against mould because it prevents the accumulation of moisture; adequate ventilation and humidity levels are also important factors in preventing moisture build-up. 

The performance of an insulation product is known as its R value—the higher the R value, the better the insulation. Essentially, it measures how well the product resists heat flow.
