Pink Batts installed!

I took the plunge and ordered Pink Batts for my ceiling. It took 4 young fellows (rugby players) about 3 hours to lay the insulation inside my ceiling. We shall now monitor and see whether there is any noticeable difference inside my house: before and after.

(Pink Batts) insulation

Yes, there was. With the heaters ON in winter, the house remains 5 degrees C warmer than ambient outside the house. In summer, the house stayed about 4 degrees cooler than outside temperatures. It was really worth doing this. I only wished that I had done this sooner and not listened to people who knew nothing about insulating a house. The truth is this: you must have a source of heat for inside your house in winter. Heat is not generated from insulation alone. However, some heat is trapped inside the roof cavity of most houses during the day. Some of this free solar heat can be utilized for heating the house. Thus reducing the overall heating bill.
