Welcome to ALLTEK ENERGY PTY LTD
When your floors lack insulation, they become a conduit for undesirable heat loss and cold gain, traversing throughout your residence. Alarmingly, up to 15% of a household's heating energy escapes through the floor. Introducing underfloor insulation acts as a shield, thwarting the infiltration of air currents beneath your home, thereby bolstering thermal efficiency. This translates into more effortless temperature regulation, reducing reliance on prolonged AC and heating usage amidst Canberra's harsh climatic conditions.
To pinpoint the precise insulation quantity tailored to your home's requirements, ALLTEK ENERGY, as a certified insulation specialist, conducts a comprehensive thermal assessment. This evaluation meticulously considers the building's site, orientation, and construction materials, meticulously calculating the insulation quantity necessary to attain the desired energy efficiency benchmarks.
The R-value, a metric of thermal resistance, quantifies a material's ability to impede heat transfer. A higher R-value signifies superior insulation performance. Adhering to Canberra's building regulations and energy efficiency norms, a minimum R5 insulation standard is mandated for residential properties within the ACT.
For timber floors, achieving insulation involves strategically placing insulation batts between the joists or beneath the floorboards. The selection of insulation materials must align with the space's specifications and the local climate zone, while ensuring a flawless installation process to eliminate any gaps or voids that might compromise its efficacy.
When it comes to suspended concrete slabs, insulation is achieved by inserting insulation foam boards or batts into the space between the slab and the flooring surface. It's crucial to pick insulation products tailored to the climate zone and the space's intended purpose, while maintaining adequate ventilation beneath the slab to deter moisture accumulation.
