Leading Insulation Installers in Melbourne – Gale Insulation

Attics can be extremely hot in the summer and cold in the winter. As much as 85% of the heat lost in a house passes through the attic. Installing insulation to proper levels and R-values can improve your attic and home’s energy efficiency. Gale Insulation’s insulation experts can evaluate your current attic insulation levels and then recommend the correct type and amount of additional insulation needed to reduce heat loss, lower utility bills, and decrease wear and tear on your HVAC system.

Existing homes and businesses in Melbourne with closed ceilings and walls can be lacking in insulation. However, it’s often not feasible or cost-effective to remove entire walls to install new insulation. Gale Insulation’s insulation contractors can drill a small hole into the wall or ceiling and then blow insulation into the cavity behind it. This insulation can be used to seal cracks and gaps around pipes, cables, doors, and more.

Gale Insulation installs insulation in walls to help make buildings in Melbourne more comfortable and energy efficient. Having the proper levels of wall insulation can reduce the demands on your HVAC system. Installing wall insulation can also help cut down on noise transfer between rooms. We often install rigid board, spray foam, blown-in, and fiberglass insulation in interior and exterior walls.

Gale Insulation installs insulation in crawl spaces of all shapes and sizes – both ventilated or unventilated. The best insulation choice in unventilated crawl spaces often involves sealing and insulating the foundation walls. Adding insulation to a crawl space helps protect pipes and ductwork and increases protection from freezing temperatures. Insulating a crawl space can cut down on mold and dampness as well.

Installing insulation in floors in homes and businesses in Melbourne can improve the thermal barrier and can help with soundproofing. Insulation is particularly important in floors above cold spaces such as crawl spaces and unheated garages as well as above slab floors built directly on the ground. Gale Insulation installs floor insulation to make all types of buildings more comfortable.

Ceiling insulation can be used for energy efficiency, sound absorption, and general comfort and safety in homes and businesses in Melbourne. Installing the proper type and amount of insulation in a ceiling can help improve the overall energy efficiency of a building. Gale Insulation installs ceiling insulation products as a thermal and acoustical barrier and also for increased fire resistance.

Older homes and businesses in the Melbourne area may have some insulation installed, but over time, that insulation may underperform due to a build up of dirt, dust, and moisture. When older insulation becomes less energy efficient, insulation removal is an important first step before replacing the insulation with newer, more energy efficient materials.
