Get the very best out of your new metal roof, upgrade with Anticon Roof Insulation

If you’re building a new home or planning a major renovation with a new metal roof, upgrade your roof with Anticon to enhance your comfort and keep your home in top condition.

Your new metal roof is about more than just how great it looks, it also protects you from the elements and it’s a critical part of your building structure. To get the very best out of your new metal roof, Bradford recommends you upgrade to include additional roof insulation to reduce the risk of condensation, increase your roof’s acoustic and thermal qualities, and improved fire resistance.

Condensation Control

Mould and mildew development in a new home is often caused by trapped moisture and condensation within the structure. This can lead to health risks for your family and long term structural damage to your home. Bradford Anticon installed directly underneath your roof sheets can prevent condensation from forming.

Additionally, Bradford Anticon is approved by the National Asthma Council’s Sensitive Choice® Program and that means it’s recommended for asthma and allergy sufferers.

Acoustic Benefits

Sound is an important consideration. Imagine a new home where you and your family can live together in peace and quiet without disturbing each other whether you are working, playing or sleeping. Installing Bradford Anticon offers you the added benefit of improving your roof’s acoustic performance.

Thermal Benefits

Heating and cooling are the highest contributors to a home’s energy use. The right roof design including Bradford Anticon insulation can help improve the thermal performance of the roof and enhance the energy efficiency and comfort of your home, saving you money and making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Fire Resistance

All modern homes should be as fire resistant as possible. Upgrading your roof with Bradford Anticon means you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your roof insulation is made from non-combustible fibres, suited to meet the requirements for metal roofs in bushfire rated areas.

When do I ask my builder?

As Anticon Roof Insulation can only be effectively installed during construction, the timing for an upgrade decision is critical.

Most new home builders have tight specifications for their new homes which may not include any acoustic insulation or anti-condensation products. Many builders will be happy to include a roof upgrade when it is not too late for them to amend their standard construction plans.

There are typically 5 stages to be aware of when you are planning your home with your builder. You should ask your builder to include Anticon no later than the Tender stage.
