Hi, Does anyone have any advice, pros/cons on putting Sisilation in roof between truss and battens? It is not standard however I have seen some do it and was wondering if it is worthwhile. ??
Thanks in advance

From memory it adds about R1.5 to the roof insulation. It goes on top of the battens, not between them and the trusses.
I think a bag which covers 15m2 is about $75 - I bought it over a year ago now so don't quote me on that Re: Sisilation in roof 5Mar 31, 2008 8:44 pm Is it a Tiled or Tin roof? If tiled they do put the sisal directly on the trusses or rafters, then they batten on top. There's no other way for a tiled roof. If a tin roof they put the sisal on top of the battens. If you can afford the extra its worth it, you wont be doing it after.
