Roof sheets and First stage of Insulation

Well as you can see the roof sheets have been pretty much completed.  We chose Colourbond 'Dune'.  We love the colour.The guys have also laid all the insulation sheeting.  We purchased Reflecta-Guard™ which we purchased from http://www.greeninsulation.com.au/

The supplier makes the following statement on their website about this product "Relflecta-Guard is infact three great products in ONE. Our Premium Product, offers . . . 1. Our highest “R” values, 2. a thermal break and 3.acoustic performance beyond many specialised acoustic insulations. 12.0mm thick, Reflecta-Guard is a favourite for luxury homes, and workplaces needing superior comfort and protection from noise (E.G. Rain, road or aircraft)."

As you can see from the photographs we have used the Relecta-Guard on the ceiling under the roof sheets and on all external walls (yet to finish upstairs).  We even doubled it up in layers, cascading over the roof structure so it should have an amazing effect on power useage.

The walls have also been doubled battened out.  Which allows an adequate airbreak between the block wall and the insulation.  Enabling the insulation to have a better effect.

We will also be laying polyester batts throughout the internal walls.
