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).
