My builder quoted me that the colorbond roof upgrade includes 50mm Anticon insulation (Light Weight Building Blanket). * Can't seem to find a 50mm thickness nowadays. Bradford Anticon website shows a minimum of 60mm. Anyone who had 50mm and what is your noise experience during heavy rain or hail? * In terms of insulation, is it enough especially if I have R3.5 insulation batts to ceiling of living areas? * Should I go for 80mm instead? Is it compatible with a Custom Orb colorbond roof? Thanks I am in NSW and my system is colorbond with Bulk, R1.3 (60mm) below the roof system & as per the BASIX requirement and natHERs report there is a requirement for installation of R5.0 batts in the ceiling. To get an acceptable star rating I am sure there is a requirement for batts below the roof insulation. Refer https://www.nathers.gov.au/owners-and-b ... ar-ratings The R5.0 is dependent on BASIX & natHERs ( if any attached to BASIX report) R 5.0 are good for insulation and has excellent acoustical properties when properly installed. Your house roof does not show rusting other than some surface rust on the flashings. In my opinion you dont need to replace or paint the roof other than treat surface rust… 1 10270 You should pressure clean your roof first and make sure the paint you buy also is anti mould. 4 18850 Hi all, Our boundary perimeter fences need replacing (3 sides). From everyone's experience, what would you install? Timber lapped and capped OR colorbond? Thank you. 0 2924 |
