Back To FAQ List - I have recessed lighting in the attic. Can I cover these?
-
No. The recessed low-voltage lights must be sleeved. Our installation team can put isolation cylinders over the lights, which protects them from overheating.
Back To FAQ List - Should my water tank be lagged?
-
Yes. EcoWarm Insulations can supply and fit a specially designed lagging jacket which is fitted around and on top of the water tank.
Back To FAQ List - There is flooring in my attic. What should I do?
-
Prior to insulation, attic flooring should be taken up and stored goods removed from the attic. As most joists are about 5 inches high, and the required depth for the blown loft insulation is 12 inches, the flooring should not be re-fitted as compressing the Insulation renders it ineffective. Alternately the flooring should be raised 6 inches prior to installation and the insulation can then be blown under it.
Back To FAQ List - How long does the installation process take?
-
The average home attic can be completed in about two Hours.
