 In general, the duration of a roof restoration project typically falls within the range of 2 to 4 days. However, several factors can influence the specific timeline:

1. Weather Conditions: Adverse weather, such as rain or strong winds, can cause delays. Favorable weather conditions are often necessary for the best results.
2. Workforce: The number of workers on the project and their experience can affect the speed of completion. A larger and skilled team can potentially complete the project more quickly.
3. Type of Roof Grade Chosen: Different roofing materials and grades may require varying amounts of time for installation, preparation, and finishing.
4. Product Maturity: The time needed for certain roofing products to set, cure, or adhere may vary, impacting the project timeline.
5. Demand and Scheduling: The availability of roofing contractors and scheduling within the industry can also influence project timelines.

 The R-value is a critical measure of an insulation batt's thermal resistance. Essentially, it indicates how well the insulation material resists the transfer of heat. The higher the R-value, the greater the resistance to heat transfer through the material. This is significant because it can lead to several benefits for your property, including reduced energy expenditure and lower household energy costs over time.

As of the latest standards and requirements, the following R-values are recommended for ceiling insulation:

• R4 Ceiling Insulation: This insulation has an R-value of R4 and is 195mm thick. It represents the new minimum requirement, providing a good level of thermal resistance to enhance energy efficiency.
• R5 Ceiling Insulation: This insulation has a higher R-value of R5 and is 215mm thick. It offers even better insulation and helps further reduce heat transfer.
• R6 Ceiling Insulation: With an R-value of R6 and a thickness of 250mm, this insulation provides the highest level of thermal resistance, making it extremely effective at minimizing heat transfer.

All the insulation materials you've listed, including Earthwool insulation, Pink Batts, SCG, Bradford Gold, and Black insulation, are compliant with Australian standards, such as AS/NZS 4859.1:2002, AS 1530.2, and AS 1530.1. These standards ensure that the insulation is non-combustible, meaning they do not ignite or burn when exposed to expected levels of fire or heat.

Additionally, it's important to note that these insulation materials should be kept clear of the back of recessed lights by at least 150mm to 200mm. This safety measure helps prevent any potential fire hazards and ensures the proper installation of insulation in accordance with building regulations in Australia.
