With three full length inserts in every cel this is the premium productl. Ideally this product performs best laid over the joists but it can be laid in between for easy roof access. It has the highest R rating for heat flow down, best for warmer climates such as QLD, WA and NT.
* Typical Equivalent in Summer Conditions. The material R value required by bulk insulation laid between joists to obtain a specified overall R value
Notes:
1) The above "Equivalent R values" apply to the specific pitched tiled roof system only. they do not apply to other roofs or to walls or to walls or floors; or to roofs having sarking, or roofs which have bulk insulation installed on top of frames.
2) R values calculated assume reflective cavities within the Silver Batts have parallel layers with 25mm air gap (in the case of Hybrid Silver Batts), or are held apart by a corrugated WaveCore (in the case of WaveCore products). Resistance will derate with poor installation.
