Foil sarking is a commonly used product for wrapping Australian homes, in this video we cover the reason why we wrapped homes. The reason why foil sarking (radiant barrier) became a common product used in Australian construction, and why we need to transition away from these products, and more to higher quality products that are based on sound building physics principles.
* Reducing moisture content in wall cavities,
* reducing air flow in wall systems, and increasing insulation performance,
* while providing a services cavity that assists services to be installed without effecting building performance.
This video covers all these important concepts, for better performing wall systems in Southern Australia and Northern Australia.
