When you have spent so much time building walls that have amazing insulating capabilities, when you have the slab super insulated and the the windows either double or triple glazed it seems crazy to skimp on ceiling insulation. With that in mind we have decided to double up on our insulation. We have the hempcrete insulation that will keep us warm and toasty in winter and we have decided to add
Wavecore Silverbatts under the sarking to reflect the heat away in summer. We are going to have a beautiful living space with a stable temperature.
Great idea I hear you say, and it will be, we just wished we had the product prior to starting the ceiling. Grant has been scrambling around the limited ceiling space attaching the batts. He has started using blue strapping (see below) to hold the batts in place - the plan is that the straps will make it easier to install.

The blue strapping for the silver batts, the black formwork is placed
up there for Grant to lie down on the job! - or possibly work |

yes its a great product you have the 'wavecore max' not the cheaper wavecore 35 that is often substituted by builders. the cheaper one tends to crush. But anyway the product is just about unobtainable north of the Murray I have 'earthwool' in my ceiling. Its just another name for the old fiberglass pink batts my possum loves it so does the rat
