There are two main types of ceiling construction, raked ceilings and cavity ceilings.  A raked ceiling runs parallel to the roof line with mimimal cavity space, so the time to insulate is during construction, however retro fitting is possible, provided there is no sarking fitted to the roof.  With a cavity ceiling, access is generally through a manhole and there is sufficient crawl space to allow retro fitting of Foil Batts.  Foil Batts can be used with both tile and metal roof systems, sarked or unsarked.

Retroshield is fire-retardant polyethylene building insulation blanket featuring two highly polished aluminium foil surfaces. Used in commercial and residential buildings, it can be installed into walls, roofs, ceilings and floors as a vapour barrier and insulation blanket all in one. It is a clean, safe, fibre-free material designed to replace conventional fibre based batts and building insulation blankets. Retroshield is manufactured without the use of toxic or reactive adhesives, making Retroshield extremely durable over time. Retroshield does not have an anti-glare surface and may not be suitable for some external applications where installers may require anti-glare protection.

Kingspan insulated panels are purposely designed for external roof and wall applications. Kingspan panels are single component, factory pre-engineered systems that combine the aesthetic finish, insulation and weathertightness in one product. The join details have been designed to specifically suit the building envelope ensuring weather tightness, and flashings have developed to compliment the overall finish.

Foilboard insulation panel is manufactured from fire retardant expanded polystyrene with pure aluminium foil laminated to both sides, an anti-glare ink is applied to one side that is designed not to impede with the reflectiveness of the foil. Foilboard insulation panel is manufactured in Australia from all Australian materials.

Isoboard extruded polystyrene rigid foam, has closed cells with common sides and is produced on a continuous, fully automated extrusion process, in accordance with international specifications and standards.

Expol is polystyrene boards with a special concertina cut on both sides to allow for up to 20mm compression to make installation easy.  Expol will fit sugly between the joists without the need for fixings - in most cases the boards will self-support.

EPS is a closed cell lightweight cellular plastics material produced from polystyrene. The material has been modified by the addition of flame retardant additives.  Polystyrene literally translated is ?polymerised styrene?. That is, the single styrene molecules are chemically joined together to form a large molecule which is called the polymer. Styrene is produced from benzene and ethylene, and polymerisation is accomplished in the presence of catalysts, usually organic peroxides. The expandable form is produced as small beads containing a blowing agent.
