Roof Sarking and Wall Wraps in Geelong

Roof sarking and wall wraps form part of a building’s protective envelope. Home Insulation installs suitable membranes for new builds, extensions and accessible renovation projects across Geelong and surrounding areas.

Whether you are planning a roof installation or wrapping exposed wall framing, we can discuss the work with you and your builder. The selected product needs to suit the construction, location and project specifications.

Roof Sarking Installation

Sarking is installed beneath the roof covering. Depending on the specified product and roof design, it can provide a secondary layer that helps manage water, wind and dust entering the roof space.

Some products also have reflective surfaces that contribute to thermal performance when installed with the required air space. However, the performance depends on the complete roof system and installation details.

Wall Wraps and Frame Wrapping

Wall wraps are fitted around external wall framing before the cladding is installed. A suitable membrane can help limit unwanted air movement and manage water behind the cladding when integrated correctly with flashings, openings and drainage details.

Different products have different water and vapour properties. For example, a vapour-permeable membrane allows water vapour to pass through it. Product selection therefore needs to account for the wall design and local conditions.

Reflective Foil and Sisalation Products

Sisalation is a brand name used for a range of building membranes. It is also a term people commonly use when asking about foil insulation or building wraps. Tell us about your project so we can clarify which type of product and installation you need.

Reflective membranes and bulk insulation perform different roles. Where required by the design, they can be used together as part of the roof or wall construction.

Planning Your Installation

Access is an important part of planning the work. These membranes are generally installed while the framing or roof structure is accessible. For an existing building, the available access and planned roofing or cladding work will affect what is practical.
