Thermguard Insulation - Cornice, Ceilings & Deco

Thermguard Cellulose Fibre Insulation

Thermguard is a loose-fill insulation (cellulose fibre) blown onto your ceiling which creates a totally seamless blanket of thermal protection. The light density of the product allows more air to be trapped in the insulation, causing a more effective barrier against heat loss or gain than conventional methods. Thermguard is an eco-friendly product made of recycled newspaper. It is sound-proof, fire-retardant, insect - and rodent repellent, cost effective and non-allergenic, making Thermguard the perfect solution for your roofing insulation, ceiling insulation and general insulation needs.

THERMGUARD INSTALLATION VIDEO

Proven Product

The manufacturing of Thermguard relies on more than 30 years of product development and industry experience. Thermguard is the original Cellulose Fibre Insulation in South Africa.

Thermal Properties

Thermguard keeps your home warm in winter and cool in summer. 91% of heat generated in the home will not escape through the roof in winter and 88% of summer heat will also be kept out.

Eco Friendly

We care about the environment. Thermguard is made from 80% recycled newsprint using a low energy process. This makes it a highly eco-friendly product.

Retardant & Resistant

Thermguard is made from recycled newsprint with harmless household additives, resulting in a fire retardant and insect- & rodent resistant product.

100% SEAMLESS COVER

SOUND PROOFING

Cellulose fibre is a very effective soundproofing material. THERMGUARD is four times as dense as glass fibre and therefore has excellent acoustic values. Noise pollution from traffic and airplanes will be significantly reduced in the home once THERMGUARD is installed. The layer of roof insulation will also prevent sound travelling between rooms through the roof space. When installed at 100mm, and thicker, Thermguard will have a Noise Reduction Co-efficient of .80 – .90. This means that .80 – .90 of the sound will be absorbed by the insulation.

Professional Installation

Assessment of your ceiling, safe covering of downlighters and appropriate placement of insulation are all key areas where our professionals have a wealth of expertise. Ceiling insulation is only as good as its installation because any gaps would decrease the effectiveness of the material installed. Only use the best!

Final Product installed

Thermguard regulates temperature thanks to the increased amount of air in its composition. Air is a poor conductor of heat and an effective insulator, as long as it is not allowed to move. Due its fibrous nature, cellulose traps large volumes of air which act as a barrier to heat movement.

Warm in Winter

During the cold winter months, heat is generated in your home through for example electric and gas heaters, or a fire place. THERMGUARD retains the heat generated inside the house, thus reducing your energy costs and keeping your home warm and comfortable. Heat loss in the home can be reduced by over 90%.

Cool in Summer

In summer, however, a cooler environment is needed. The heat from the sun beats down on the roof, drastically raising the temperature in your home. By installing THERMGUARD, you will be able to prevent the heat flowing downwards into your cooler home by up to 88%. Depending on where you live, this will make your home naturally more comfortable to live in, or in very hot areas, reduce your air-conditioning bill considerably. In fact, the insulation will pay for itself within 3 years of installation.

FAQ

Will THERMGUARD reduce electricity consumption in my house?

Will THERMGUARD burn, since it is made from recycled newsprint?

Will THERMGUARD make our home noticeably cooler?

Is THERMGUARD insect and rodent resistant?

How long does it take to install?

How does THERMGUARD compare with insulation rolls?

What will happen if the insulation gets wet?

THERMGUARD is manufactured from recycled newsprint which is fairly absorbent. Small drip leaks will not harm the insulation or the ceiling as they will be absorbed by the insulation. When the roof space heats up again a day later or so, the moisture will evaporate out of the product. THERMGUARD is known as the “breathing insulation”.

Obviously roof leaks should be repaired. In the event of a major infusion of water, such as a burst geyser, the insulation will be damaged. This occurrence would be covered under normal household insurance and can be repaired by a THERMGUARD contractor whilst the geyser is being attended too.

Will THERMGUARD aggravate my family’s allergies?
