Quickest way to save money on your energy bills

Checking your home’s insulation is one of the fastest and most cost- effective ways to use a whole-house approach to reduce energy waste and make the most of your energy dollars. A good insulating system includes a combination of products and construction techniques that protect a home from outside hot or cold temperatures, protect it against air leaks, and control moisture. 

You can increase the comfort of your home while reducing your heating and cooling needs by investing in proper insulation and sealing air leaks.

First, check the insulation in your ceilings to see if it meets the levels recommended for your area. Insulation is measured in R-values—the higher the R-value, the better your walls and roof will resist the transfer of heat.

How Aerolite is made

Ever wondered how Aeroilite is made, well now you can see for yourself....

Watch this Video on our webpage

AEROLITE is made from a combination of naturally occurring minerals such as silica sand (which is a sustainable resource), and up to 80% recycled glass.

All new buildings need to be energy compliant

The building inspectors have now begun implementing SANS 10400-XA by refusing to sign off on non-energy compliant buildings

http://www.isover.co.za/pages/efl/sans10040XA.php

Are you having the insulation pulled over your eyes?

Have a look at this table below and see what the minimum requirements are for insulation in your area according to each product's R-value

For example in Nelspruit (Climatic Zone 3) you need either 100mm Aerolite or 100mm Cellulose Fibre loose fill or 120mm Isotherm to help reach required  minimum R-value of 2.7 in this area.

Make sure your installer is committing to these regulations. You are paying for it after all and the correct insulation will save you thousands of ZAR each year on your electricity bills.

Not all Ceiling Insulation is the same!

Ceiling Insulation products CANNOT be compared thickness for thickness, but in terms of the new Building Regulations and SANS 10400-XA the “R” values are what is important.

Different products have a different Thermal Conductivity Co-efficient and this is what determines the required thickness.

Insulation Facts

INSULATION FACTS 


Health and Safety Facts #62 for Fiber Glass 
www.naima.org 


Since its introduction into commerce nearly seventy years ago, fiber glass has become one of the world's most useful insulating materials, helping homeowners and industry increase energy efficiency, protect the environment, and reduce energy costs. Fiber glass falls within a group of materials historically referred to as man-made vitreous fibers (MMVFs), reflecting the glassy, non-crystalline nature of these materials. NAIMA and its member companies are committed to ensuring that fiber glass products can be safely manufactured, installed and used. NAIMA member companies have funded tens of millions of dollars of research at leading independent laboratories and universities in the United States and abroad. The weight of the scientific research shows no association between 
exposure to glass fibers and respiratory disease or cancer in humans. 


In October 2001, an international expert review by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) re-evaluated the 1988 IARC assessment of glass fibers and removed glass, rock and slag wool fibers from its list of substances “possibly carcinogenic to humans.” All fiber glass and rock and slag wools that are commonly used for thermal and acoustical 
insulation are now considered not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3). 


\IARC noted specifically: “Epidemiologic studies published during the 15 years since the 
previous IARC Monographs review of these fibers in 1988 provide no evidence of increased risks of lung cancer or mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the body cavities) 
from occupational exposures during manufacture of these materials, and inadequate evidence overall of any cancer risk.” 


IARC retained its Group 3 classification for continuous glass filaments and the Group 2B “possible carcinogen” classification for certain special purpose glass fibers. 


The IARC change is consistent with the conclusion reached by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, which in 2000 found “no significant association between fiber exposure and lung cancer or nonmalignant respiratory disease in the MVF [man-made vitreous fiber] 
manufacturing environment.” 


IARC’s comprehensive review of the extensive studies developed over the past 15 years indicates that some of the prior “Epidemiologic studies...provide no evidence of increased risks of lung cancer or mesothelioma...and inadequate evidence overall of 
any cancer risk” reviews now need to be updated. Many of these earlier reviews do not 
account for the new science. For example, the U. S. Department of Health and Human Service (HHS, Shalala 1994) included fiber glass on its list of possible carcinogens based primarily on the 1988 IARC classification. Similarly, the California listing of fiber glass as “known to the state to cause cancer” was based principally on the old IARC classification. 


Fiber glass is now the most thoroughly evaluated insulation material in the market. The data from these evaluations demonstrate that: 

1. No causal association has been found between either cancer or non-malignant pulmonary disease and human exposure to glass fibers. 
2. Inhalation exposures of animals to massive amounts of bio-soluble glass wool fibers, hundreds and even thousands of times greater than human exposures, have not shown a relationship between glass wool fibers and disease. 
3. Glass wool fibers are bio-soluble and therefore dissolve more rapidly in body fluids than other fibers that have been associated with human disease. 
4. Workplace levels of respirable glass fibers in most settings are less than 1 fiber/cc; and airborne levels in insulated buildings are not significantly different than levels outside or in un-insulated buildings. 

Scientific evidence demonstrates that fiber glass is safe to manufacture, install and use when recommended work practices are followed. Following these work practices will help to reduce irritation.* For more information, consult the individual manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) or package labels. NAIMA's pamphlet,“Working 
with Fiber Glass, Rock Wool and Slag Wool Products” provides current and specific safe work practices which are part of NAIMA’s Product Stewardship Program and reflects the input of international industry, trade associations, OSHA, Labor, and others. 


Virtually all of these work practices were part of the HSPP, and were endorsed by OSHA. NAIMA has also developed an instructional video/DVD entitled “Play It Smart, Play It Safe,” 
which details safe work practices and the following four components: 

1. A voluntary workplace permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 1 respirable fiber/cc. 
2. Respiratory protection for workers when workplace exposures exceed this PEL and for certain designated tasks. 
3. Monitoring of workplace airborne fiber levels and a centralized exposure monitoring database. 
4. Information and training for workers who handle glass wool products. 

This tape and the above-mentioned pamphlet can be ordered in either English or Spanish from the NAIMA library at www.NAIMA.org. 


NAIMA member companies continue to support ongoing scientific investigations into the health and safety aspects of glass wools as part of their comprehensive product stewardship program. NAIMA is dedicated to providing up-to-date information on 
the results of these studies as they become available. 


About NAIMA 


NAIMA is the association for North American manufacturers of fiber glass, rock wool, and 
slag wool insulation products. Its role is to promote energy efficiency and environmental 
preservation through the use of fiber glass, rock wool and slag wool insulation, and to 
encourage the safe production and use of these materials. 


NAIMA, continuing its members’ commitment to safety, has established a renewed 
Product Stewardship Program, which embodies the components of the earlier OSHA-NAIMA Health and Safety Partnership Program (HSPP). The HSPP was a comprehensive 
eight-year partnership with OSHA, which NAIMA completed in May 2007, and now NAIMA incorporates these safe work practices into NAIMA’s Product Stewardship Program.

How Aerolite Ceiling Insulation Works

How it Works

Insulation is one of the few products whose primary purpose is to provide comfort and save energy.

Its properties are used to “slow down” or “resist” the flow of energy such as heat or sound. 

Thermal insulation provides a high resistance to the flow of heat from the warm surface to the cold surface in your home and this limits the impact of the outside temperature helping maintain a comfortable living environment . 

1. The ceiling is one of the largest areas in your home for heat gain.
2. Heat energy from the sun moves from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.
3. Cooling units have to work harder to lower the temperature.
4. This means there is an increase in electricity consumption and your electricity bill.

1. Aerolite slows down the rate of heat exchange from the higher outside air temperature into your cooler house temperature. 
2. Indoor climate remains comfortable. 
3. Cooling units work optimally.

1. The ceiling is one of the largest areas in the home for heat loss. 
2. Heat energy from the heating system moves from a higher temperature to a lower one. 
3. Heating system works harder in an attempt to keep the indoor climate comfortable. 
4. This means there is an increase in electricity consumption or use of heating fuels. 

1. Aerolite slows down the rate of heat exchange from the warm indoor environment to the colder external environment. 
2. Indoor climate remains comfortable. 
3. Heating systems work optimally

South Africa's Climatic Zones

According to the new SANS 204 and SANS 10400 XA, South Africa has been divided into 6 climatic zones. The ceiling insulation thickness (R-Value) for each region is dependent on certain climatic conditions and recommended as  "deemed to satisfy".

All insulation materials are rated for their performance in restricting heat transfer. This is expressed as the “R-Value”, which is the measure of the material’s resistance to heat transfer, alternatively known as thermal resistance. The higher the R-Value the greater the insulation effect. It is the reciprocal of thermal conductance/transmittance.

Climatic Zones of South Africa
