• In homes that are not well insulated, extreme heat or cold can
be transferred from the outside to the inside through poorly
insulated walls and roof. This may create a thermal barrier
which can prevent the smoke from reaching an alarm mounted
on the ceiling. If you are not sure about the insulation in your
home, or if you notice that the outer walls and ceiling are either
hot or cold, install the alarm on an inside wall. In such homes,
install the smoke alarm with the top edge of the alarm at a
minimum of 10 cm (4") and a maximum of 30.5 cm (12")
below the ceiling (Image 2A).
