Our reflective insulation helps reduce heat transfer by reflecting radiant heat away from the building, which can lead to significant energy savings by keeping indoor spaces cooler in summer and warmer in winter. It also provides moisture control and reduces noise.

Insulation reduces the need for excessive heating and cooling by maintaining more stable indoor temperatures, which lowers energy consumption. This translates to our products reducing energy bills and producing a smaller carbon footprint.

Yes, our insulation products, such as reflective insulation, can help reduce noise by providing a barrier that limits sound transmission through walls, roofs, and floors.

GIBS™ insulation products are designed to last for the life of the building if properly installed and maintained. They require little to no maintenance and do not degrade easily over time.

While some insulation types can be installed by a competent DIYer, professional installation ensures the product performs optimally. Professional installers are trained to handle various insulation products safely and ensure they meet local building codes and energy efficiency standards.

Yes, certain GIBS™ products like our AirFlo VPM range can help reduce condensation in areas like roofs and walls.

The R-value is a measure of how well insulation resists heat flow. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation performs at keeping heat inside during winter and outside during summer. Choosing insulation with the right R-value for your climate zone is crucial for optimal energy efficiency. For any questions regarding product selection, please speak to our friendly in-house team of experts.

VPMs are designed for use in external wall and roof applications. They allow internal moisture vapour to escape while preventing external water ingress, protecting the building envelope from condensation, mould, and long-term structural damage.
