If your home is 10 15 years old, it may not be as insulated as it should be. This can result in major energy lossespecially from the attic. A well-insulated home can significantly reduce your utility bills throughout the year. Aussie Roofing can help you save your money, by including AttiCat Expanding Blown-In Insulation with your green energy efficient house plans. The insulation performance of all insulation products is measured by a common standard: the R-value. R-value measures the resistance to heat flow; the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power.

Ventilation provides the conditions that allow air to flowout with the hot air and in with the cool air. When stale, overheated air in your home or attic is vented out and fresh air is pulled in you have an "air exchange." Effective ventilation requires a balancing act. You want to "wash" the entire attic by pulling air from the intake vents low on the roof's edge, or in the soffit, to the vents at the ridge in the high areas. In independent tests against competitive ridge vents, Air Vent products produced the greatest amount of low pressure above the vent, which resulted in a greater ability to exhaust air from the attic.
Aussie Roofing can provide any custom flashings or gutter profiles that you might need. We also stand behind our gutter installations with a 5-year Installer Guaranty for our workmanship.
