Also with fibreglass you always have the risk of not being installed well and compressed etc. Also I agree with your re:roof sarking that in the warmer zones reflective foil is best....or why not get the best of both worlds and go anticon blanket....foil with fibreglass attached. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Re: Brisbane - Building and Energy Efficient Home 18Oct 22, 2019 5:08 pm Hi All My first post here. Not sure if you have finally found your solution, but I'm building an R4 insulated home but not using brick veneer. As it's not just about the walls insulation its also your air leaking of the building envelop as that would be another thermal loss. Of course this is aong with correct windows frames, glazing and shading. I can upload pictures of my build to show you what we are doing.
