Keep Your Home Cooler, More Comfortable and More Energy Efficient
Australian homes are exposed to some of the harshest solar conditions in the world. During summer, roof temperatures can exceed 70°C, transferring heat into living spaces and increasing the demand for air conditioning.
Insultec is an Australian-developed thermal re-radiating waterproof membrane that helps reduce solar heat transfer through roofs and external surfaces. By reflecting and re-radiating a significant proportion of solar heat, Insultec helps maintain a cooler building envelope and improves indoor comfort throughout the year.
Key Benefits
Reduced Heat Transfer
Insultec helps prevent solar heat from penetrating roofing materials, reducing heat build-up in roof cavities and living areas.
Lower Energy Costs
A cooler home means reduced reliance on air conditioning, potentially lowering electricity consumption and household energy bills.
Improved Indoor Comfort
Bedrooms, living rooms, garages and outdoor entertaining areas remain more comfortable during hot weather.
Extended Roof Life
By reducing expansion and contraction caused by extreme temperature fluctuations, Insultec helps prolong the life of roofing materials and reduce maintenance costs.
Improved Solar Panel Performance
Solar panels operate more efficiently at lower temperatures. By helping keep roof surfaces cooler, Insultec contributes to improved solar panel performance and longevity.
Waterproof Protection
Insultec forms a seamless protective membrane that helps protect roofs and external surfaces from weathering, moisture penetration and environmental degradation.
