Choosing the right insulation product can save you money and energy. Especially when it comes to the hot and cold months, and the power used to heat and cool your home. One of the best and most cost-effective options is isotherm insulation.
Isotherm insulation is an environmentally friendly and healthy option for your roof or walls. It contains no chemicals and is non-allergenic, which is great for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. It also keeps the temperature at a consistent level in your home so that it is comfortable to live in and use.
It is a highly effective insulation solution for all types of roofs and walls and it is available in different thicknesses to suit your needs. It is also a cost-effective way to insulate your house and will pay for itself within 2 years of having it installed.
The R-Value of the insulation is a good indication of its thermal efficiency and is a measure of how much heat it can restrict transfer to or from your building’s interior. The higher the R-value the better its performance.
This insulation is made from polyester fibres that have a relatively high melting point which gives it strong thermal stability. The product is also able to resist moisture and does not absorb more than 2% by mass, which is within the limits of the standard.
ISOTHERM insulation is a non-toxic material and does not emit objectionable odours when wet. It does not lose its benefits on drying out and has been tested for fire resistance.
Isotherm is compliant with the new SANS 10400 XA regulations and can be used in any residential or commercial application. It is fire rated to classification B/B 1/2, as verified by SANS 428 and ASTM-E 84.
It is non-corrosive and does not emit odours when wet and it is safe to install in a variety of conditions. It is also a cost-effective product and can be easily recycled, saving the environment from having to deal with all those unwanted plastic bottles.
Another benefit of isotherm is that it is not hygroscopic, which means that it does not absorb water like some other types of insulation. This means that it is very durable and can withstand leaks in your roof or geysers bursting in the summer.
This makes it an excellent choice for a roof or wall insulating job and is recommended by all professional installers in South Africa. It is easy to install, feels soft and safe to touch.
A great alternative to cellulose and aerolite fibres, ISOTHERM is 100% thermally bonded and people-friendly, making it easy to roll out and cut to size, pleasant to touch and safe for installation. It is manufactured from recycled PET bottles, which prevents a lot of plastic bottles from being thrown away into rubbish dumps or landfill sites every year.
It also complies with the environmental guidelines of SANS 1004:2006 and has an environmental impact of no more than 5%.
