We use Value Poly Underfloor Insulation R2.5 in Victoria and Bradford's Polymax R2.5 Underfloor Insulation in other states. If you install the insulation according to the video, as in stapled on both sides of the joist every 100mm to 150mm, there is no room for rats to get through.

Also I've read that you shouldn't staple directly into the floor boards. Bit of a red flag my comment was ignored while you replied to the more recent commentator.

That is great to hear! Well done.

Thanks for your input. There are few novice DIYers who can apply sealants perfectly from the start. The video demonstrates how to apply, and also how to clean up.

EMV is ecoMaster V Seal. Find out more here. ecomasterstore.com.au/products/emv-door-perimeter-seal

Once it is dried it is invisible. It is white when applied and clear when dry. ecomasterstore.com.au/products/draughtproofing-gaps-fullers-fulaseal

Not sure about your question. If you are asking about how to cool a home down, try this www.ecomaster.com.au/heatwave-australia/

The Goodbye Heating Vent is designed for those who can't, or don't want to try, to match their timber floors. Timber floor repairs are more challenging than this approach. Our products are design to be easy for novice DIYers to achieve a great result. I am sure there are many other sites that will show timber repairs. ecomasterstore.com.au/products/duct-sealing-kit

The product specifications are under the "Specs" tab for the product. ecomasterstore.com.au/products/cavity-sliding-doors-draught-proofing

That is a good point. Maybe try turning captions off so you can see the whole screen. ecomasterstore.com.au/products/door-draught-proofing-rp1-draught-excluder

If you install Ultraclear carefully into the gap and wipe off the excess, so only the gap is filled, you will not see any "shiny" surface. ecomasterstore.com.au/products/draughtproofing-gaps-fullers-fulaseal

Thank you! ecomasterstore.com.au/products/cavity-sliding-doors-draught-proofing

Hi, Sorry we are not aware of the distribution in the US. HB Fullers are the manufacturer. Perhaps try them.

Glad to help

If your budget extends to replacement doors, that's great. Many folks don't have that option, so draught proofing is a good "go to" measure.

Hi, Yes - we totally agree with you which is why we are introducing two new ways to analyse your draught proofing issues and provide you with sensible solutions that work: 1) The Draught Proofing Information Hub - which can be found here www.ecomaster.com.au/draught-proofing-information-hub/" 2) Find and Fix The Draughts in My Home - which will be found here (not quite ready yet). ecomasterclass.ecomaster.com.au/registration Cheers Your ecoMaster team

Yes - Maurice, our Technical Director, has a real skill in explaining things in an easy to follow manner. Thank you. I will pass your comments on.

Hi Jacob, EMV is the name of the product. It is highly versatile and can be used in a number of settings. - you can find it here. ecomasterstore.com.au/search?type=product&q=emv Cheers Your ecoMaster team

Hi Mega, It could potentially be placed outside your window as long as it is incredibly well protected from wind and rain. If it gets wet, Renshade will be very unhappy. So it is best installed inside. Cheers Your ecoMaster team

You are very welcome. I am glad we could be of assistance.

Thanks for your feedback. We will be creating a blog that provides more detail rather than another video. Check out www.ecoMaster.com.au/blog

No. It is not legal to sell any insulation in Australia that will carry a flame. If the insulation comes into direct contact with flame, it will shrink away but stop as soon as the flame is removed.

Yes, absolutely

By replacing an awning window (that has quite poor ventilation properties) with a hinged door, the door can be fully opened to allow complete exchange of air through the home.

@@ecoMasterAu I see, that won't really help with Florida summers, I'm trying to circulate the air conditioned air better, one room is 6 degrees warmer than another...

Good question. Flyscreens will not impact the effectiveness of Renshade. But Renshade is not weather proof and needs to be installed inside or totally under cover. It will become very unhappy if it gets wet.

Hi Russell, Clearly we aren't sailors! :-) Thanks for your feedback

Thank you. Yes, we think Maurice is pretty good too!

Good feedback. Thank you.

Sure - regular slotted screws or in fact nails are also fine.

Good observation. We are working on a solution for that at the moment.

@@ecoMasterAu if you need to trial a house north of the river in perth let me know 😉

Not yet. We are currently looking at international shipping.

We are looking in that at the moment. Where are you located?

They were investigating international shipping 6 years ago. Don’t hold your breath

Hi Matthew! Spray foam is not a DIY solution. Goodbye Heating Vents are quick, cheap and effective - AND DIY! :-)

No risk of that. ecoMaster is here to make a difference. :-) Thank you for your support.

Hi Naomi, We have just published a discussion about how to fix a cathedral ceiling that is not insulated. www.ecomaster.com.au/your-cathedral-ceiling-is-not-insulated-how-to-fix-it/

Talia, Thanks for your comment but there are a couple of issues with your proposed approach. 1) Masking takes a lot of time and is very fiddly 2) Disposing of the masking material is quite wasteful of resources and creates landfill 3) Selleys product still requires you to select a matching colour which can be problematic if it does not match your floorboards

@@ecoMasterAu I don’t think offering up alternative options for people who are new to doing work around their homes means there are issues with what I suggested. Masking up is just as time consuming as being on your knees wiping up excess product from the floor. When we’re talking about using chemicals and synthetic products that require cleaning up and disposing of, I think that pretty much negates the argument of wastage of masking tape and the effect on the environment and landfill. Where does the paper towel with excess caulk go once you clean it up off the floor? The Selleys hardwood floor caulk comes in many shades and if someone is concerned about matching the colour then of course they could use the product you suggest. I am merely offering my advice with what might assist someone to feel confident enough to do a job like this. Not everyone is a pro with a caulk gun and doing work like this.

Hi Stretch, Thanks for your question. The reason we suggest installing it with the V facing down is that in more instances you will make a more effective seal on the door (utilising the brush that comes with the door). Your idea is a good one if you are expecting gale force winds underneath your sliding door. Given the design of most sliding doors, that is less likely. Cheers

Hi Lou, The installation video is here. ua-cam.com/video/bkrXy0Z5Np0/v-deo.html

Yes - that is a good plan!

How did it turn out? You installed the flyscreens on the inside/living side of the windows?

Yes indeed. Floorboard gaps will let is draughts, dust, pollen, smoke and bugs too! So best to seal them up!

Unfortunately no Gary, this is not available in the US. Insulation is very bulk and not cost effective to ship internationally. We are sorry we are not able to help you.

Hi Habeb, Can you please contact us via www.ecoMaster.com.au/contact with your question - and please provide your location. Thanks!

@@ecoMasterAu I'm in Michigan

There are two ways to treat cavity sliding doors. * The first is the Draught Dodgers Cavity Sliding Door Kit which will only draught proof one side of the door when that door is closed. For example, a sliding door to a walk in robe can be draught proofed on the bedroom side, leaving the ventilation to occur within the walk in robe via the gaps within the cavity itself. * The second way is to seal the cavity. To do this you need to remove the door first. Then seal all the gaps within the cavity itself and then replace the door. The video for doing this is here. ua-cam.com/video/OY58GWUjmdc/v-deo.html

Thanks John and Happy New Year to Efficiency Matrix too. Thank you for the additional important distinctions on wall wraps. This particular installation was indeed in Queensland (which for others reading these comments is a northern humid part of Australia). Obviously having the right product in the right place is the first step. The second step is correct installation.

Thanks!!
