Learn How to Get It Right

Installing ceiling insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your home's energy efficiency. Properly installed insulation can reduce heat transfer by up to 30%, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

For residential applications, Lambdaboard PIR boards offer excellent thermal performance with minimal thickness. Lay boards snugly between ceiling joists, ensuring no gaps. For existing homes, blown-in insulation or blanket rolls can be retrofitted without removing the ceiling.

Roof leaks cause structural damage, mould growth, and energy loss. The first step is identifying the source: check for cracked flashing, damaged waterproofing membranes, or failed sealant joints.

For concrete flat roofs, UltraSeal liquid waterproofing membrane provides a seamless, elastomeric barrier that adapts to thermal movement. Clean the surface thoroughly, apply primer, then roll or spray the membrane in two coats. For corrugated iron, use NUI urethane sealants around fastener points and overlapping joints.

The choice between epoxy and polyurethane flooring depends on your specific needs. Epoxy coatings provide excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and a glossy finish at a lower cost. They're ideal for residential garages, retail spaces, and light industrial areas.

Polyurethane screeds offer superior thermal shock resistance, flexibility, and durability under heavy mechanical loading. Applied at 4-9mm thickness, PU screeds withstand steam cleaning, acid/alkali exposure, and heavy forklift traffic. NuCote's range covers both systems with SABS-approved formulations.
