Insulation Thickness

Insulation thickness is a crucial factor in determining the effectiveness of insulation. The thicker the insulation, the better it typically is at preventing heat transfer. However, the right thickness for a specific application depends on various factors including the location of installation, the desired energy efficiency, and budget constraints.

Grouped by Thickness

Thin Insulation (10mm - 40mm)

• 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm: Ideal for spaces with limited room or where a slight boost in insulation is needed. Commonly used in walls or floors where space is at a premium.

Mid Range Insulation (50mm - 90mm)

• 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 75mm, 80mm, 90mm: A balanced choice for most residential and commercial properties. Suitable for walls, floors, and roofs, these thicknesses offer a good compromise between insulation performance and space.

Thick Insulation (100mm - 200mm)

• 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, 125mm, 130mm, 140mm, 150mm, 170mm, 200mm: Best for areas that experience extreme temperatures or for those who want maximum energy efficiency. Often used in attics, basements, and external walls to provide superior thermal resistance.

How to Choose the Right Insulation Thickness

Determine the Purpose: If you're looking to insulate an attic in a cold region, you might lean towards the thicker range. For a small internal partition wall, thinner insulation might suffice.

Space Considerations: Ensure the chosen insulation fits comfortably within the space without compressing it, as compressed insulation loses efficiency.

Budget: While thicker insulation might offer better energy savings in the long run, it might also be more expensive upfront. Consider the long-term savings against the initial investment.

Building Regulations: Some regions have specific building codes that dictate the minimum insulation thickness. Ensure you're compliant with local regulations.
