Re: Anticon blanket or high grade sarking under metal roof 3Aug 28, 2020 12:49 pm alexd blanket type insulation definitely, i used to work doing roof insulation a lifetime ago and you'll be amazed at how well the stuff works. The difference between crawling around in a roof space of a house that has a blanket insulation under the tin compared to one without on a hot day is huge. In my opinion from experience, a house with anticon and say an r2.5 or r3 batt on the ceilings would work much better than just having say an r6 on the ceilings. Thanks Alex Re: Anticon blanket or high grade sarking under metal roof 4Aug 28, 2020 1:05 pm They are typically used in different scenarios. Anticon (anticondensation) is foil and insulation normally used under metal roofing to prevent moisture condensing on the underside of the tin and then dripping back onto the ceiling. Sarking is typically used under tile roofs and provides protection from wind driven rain and dust. Both products provide a first layer of insulation, obviously anticon is superior as it also has a layer of fibre insulation. The anticon also halos keep noise levels down on metal roofing.
