• Available to fit 600mm rafter centres
• Can be used in conjunction with all ventilated facia and soffit designs

Cavity wall/roof: The need for the ARC Eaves Insulator arose from the issue of heat loss through the roof membrane at the junction between the pitched roof and the top of the cavity wall. This part of the dwelling, due to its shape, presents challenges for construction workers to provide adequate and consistent insulation. Traditional methods involve manually applying a mineral fibre product over the ceiling trusses and forcing it into the narrow gap at this junction. This approach can be problematic for construction workers, as calculating the required amount of mineral fibre and the necessary compression for effective fill is difficult, leading to inconsistencies in insulation and resulting heat loss.

What is ARC Eaves Insulator?

ARC Eaves Insulator is a thermal insulation product designed specifically for use at the eaves of pitched roofs. It helps prevent cold bridging and heat loss at the junction between the roof and the external wall.

How does ARC Eaves Insulator contribute to energy efficiency?

ARC Eaves Insulator prevents heat loss and cold bridging at the critical junction between the roof and the wall. This helps maintain a consistent temperature within the building, reducing energy consumption and improving overall energy efficiency.

How is ARC Eaves Insulator installed?

• Measure and cut the insulator to fit the eaves space
• Place the insulator at the junction between the roof and the external wall
• Secure it in place with appropriate fixings or adhesive
• Ensure it is tightly fitted
