An insulation assessment is a professional inspection that evaluates the condition and performance of the insulation within a property.
During the assessment, Arcsite reviews the existing ceiling insulation and gathers the information needed to determine whether the property meets the applicable requirements.
The inspection begins with a review of the existing ceiling insulation to confirm its presence, condition, and coverage across the accessible areas of the roof cavity. This helps identify whether insulation has been installed correctly, whether there are areas with missing or insufficient insulation, and whether the current insulation level may require further attention.
The existing insulation is assessed to determine its current R-value, which measures the thermal resistance and performance level of the insulation. Understanding the R-value helps determine whether the property’s insulation meets the required standard and provides a clearer picture of the current insulation performance.
Following the assessment, the findings are documented to provide a clear record of the property’s insulation status. Where the property meets the applicable requirements, the assessment findings can support the preparation of insulation compliance documentation.
Arcsite provides different assessment options depending on the level of detail required.
