The first diagram shows roofing blanket installed in a pitched metal roof with flat ceiling. The second diagram shows roofing blanket installed in a pitched roof with cathedral ceiling below rafters. \u003ch2\u003eSound Insulation for Roofs\u003c\/h2\u003e Improve the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/acoustic-insulation\"\u003eacoustic\u003c\/a\u003e performance of your roof with Anticon Insulation.  The installation of Anticon directly under your metal roof sheet can reduce unwanted airborne noise such as aircraft or traffic and also provide a damping effect to reduce impact noise from rain or hail. Although the sound of gentle rain can be soothing, heavy rain or hail on a metal roof can be noisy and annoying. Installing this product reduce the sound power level of heavy rain by over 7%*, improving the comfort of your living environment as well as providing the thermal and condensation benefits that Bradford Anticon is renowned for. The addition of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gold-insulation-batts\"\u003eBradford Gold ceiling batts\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/r2-0-bradford-soundscreen-acoustic-insulation-batts\"\u003eSoundScreen\u003c\/a\u003e can also further improve both the acoustic and thermal performance. \u003ch2\u003eImprove Energy Efficiency and Comfort\u003c\/h2\u003e Most common building materials such as bricks, roof tiles and metal roofing allow most of the heat they receive to pass through them. This is why insulation such as Anticon for under the metal roof sheet and Gold Batts or New Generation SoundScreen in ceilings and walls is important to achieve improved energy efficiency and a comfortable living environment. \u003ch2\u003eUp to 42% of heat is lost through the roof\u003c\/h2\u003e In winter, around \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bradfordinsulation.co.nz\/home-comfort-hub\/how-insulation-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e42% of a home’s heat is lost through the roof and 24% typically lost through the walls\u003c\/a\u003e. In summer heat flows at similar rates into the home. The inclusion of this roofing product can help improve the thermal performance and comfort of your home. \u003ch2\u003eCondensation Control\u003c\/h2\u003e Installing this product can reduce the risk of condensation formation under your metal roof which can cause damage to plasterboard ceilings and mould growth. The use of high levels of insulation on only the ceiling to meet energy efficiency and comfort requirements can unfortunately lead to an increased incidence of condensation formation in roof spaces in cold climates. Although ceiling insulation is very effective at keeping the warmth within the home, it is unable to stop vapour (moisture within the air) from the home passing through the plasterboard and bulk insulation. When this vapour contacts a cold surface such as an un-insulated metal roof sheet, condensation droplets can form beneath the roof sheet in the roof space – similar to the droplets on the outside of a bottle removed from the fridge on a warm day. To help address condensation formation, ‘Anticon’ (the name is derived from the anti-condensation purpose of the product) positioned directly against the underside of the metal roof sheet helps stop the vapour in the air from reaching the cold metal roof sheet. By insulating the metal roof, the temperature of the Anticon foil facing does not get as cold which reduces the risk of condensation forming. For roofs in very cold regions or those homes where moist air enters the roof space, it is important to tape the foil overlap and remove the heavy, moisture laden air from the attic space using a suitable ventilation system. \u003ch2\u003eFire Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e This bulk insulation blanket is made from non-combustible fibres and is ideally suited to sealing ember entry points at ridges, valleys and fascias to meet the BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) requirement for metal clad roofs in bushfire areas. Anticon’s bulk insulation blanket achieves a very high fire rating in accordance with AS\/NZS1530.3 (0,0,0,1) and the reflective foil facing meets the BCA flammability index requirement of ≤ 5. \u003ch2\u003eMade in Australia from up to 65% recycled glass\u003c\/h2\u003e Made from up to 65% recycled glass, this product is made in Australia in facilities with an Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) of zero so you can be assured that they are a sound environmental choice. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bradford-insulation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eCSR Bradford\u003c\/a\u003e insulation is manufactured using the latest FBS-1 bio-soluble formulation which has been assessed as non-hazardous under the National Occupational Health \u0026amp; Safety Commission’s guidelines.","brand":"Bradford","offers":[{"title":"Victoria \/ R1.8","offer_id":58071389110604,"sku":"PWV-A80120015LD","price":219.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Victoria \/ R1.3","offer_id":58071389143372,"sku":"PWV-A60120015LD","price":178.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New South Wales \/ R1.8","offer_id":58071389176140,"sku":"PWN-A80120015LD","price":246.89,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New South Wales \/ R1.3","offer_id":58071389208908,"sku":"PWN-A60120015LD","price":195.88,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Queensland \/ R1.3","offer_id":58071389241676,"sku":"PWQ-A60120015LD","price":224.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Queensland \/ R1.8","offer_id":58071389274444,"sku":"PWQ-A80120015LD","price":246.04,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Australian Capital Territory \/ R1.3","offer_id":58071389307212,"sku":"PWA-A60120015LD","price":215.46,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Australian Capital Territory \/ R1.8","offer_id":58071389339980,"sku":"PWA-A80120015LD","price":271.58,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1073\/8070\/3564\/files\/94fc502a-bradford-anticon-roof-insulation-blanket-with-foil-sarking.jpg?v=1783940136","url":"https:\/\/pricewiseinsulation.com.au\/products\/bradford-anticon-roofing-blanket","provider":"Pricewise Insulation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
