A question we get asked often; Will insulation make my home a hotbox in summer?
The simple answer is no. CSR Bradford recently ran an experiment to test the "hotbox myth" the idea that in summer, insulation will trap heat inside your house and turn it into a hotbox. We built three identically sized boxes and on a hot day, filled them each with a bucket of ice.
One box was uninsulated, like nearly a million homes in Australia still are. One box had Bradford's Thermoseal wall wrap. And one had Bradford's Gold wall segments.
