Insulation
Enjoy year-round comfort in your Canberra home. Our premium ceiling, wall, and floor insulation keeps you warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and lowers your energy bills.
Insulation is one of the first steps to think about when improving energy efficiency of your home. It’s job is to slow down heat transfer and it does so by trapping the heat in the air pockets between the thin fibres of insulation. In summer, insulation prevents heat from entering your home, while in winter, it minimises heat escaping, reducing your energy bills and maintaining a comfortable home.
Amid the growing need to adapt to a changing climate, insulation remains a critical solution for improving the health, comfort, and affordability of homes. One of the best places to start is by reducing your heating and cooling energy use, which can be as much as 38% of your total home energy requirements.
A well-insulated home provides comfort all year round — warmer in winter, cooler in summer — while saving you up to 40% on your energy bills. By using less heating and cooling, you’ll not only enjoy lower costs but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making your home more sustainable.
Did you know?
In Canberra, many homes have insufficient insulation to maintain healthy and comfortable living conditions during our cold winters and hot summers. Without adequate insulation, these homes become costly to heat and cool. Installing the right level of ceiling insulation reduces reliance on heating and cooling systems, making your home more energy-efficient and comfortable year-round. Many ACT homes built before 1997 have little or no ceiling insulation. As ceiling insulation ages, it can compress or become damaged, reducing its effectiveness.
Why Insulation Matters
Year-Round Comfort
Helps to keep heat inside the home in winter and outside the home in summer – allowing for a more stable and comfortable energy efficient home all year round.
Financial Benefits
While there is an initial cost involved, insulation offers long-term financial benefits. The energy savings alone will offset the cost of the insulation installation, making it a wise investment that will pay itself off.
Noise Reduction
Minimise noise transmission making your indoor spaces quieter and more peaceful.
Non-combustible
Provides peace of mind knowing that your insulation is made from non-combustible fibres.
Moisture Control
Reduces susceptibility to trapped moisture, minimising your risk of mould and mildew growth and fostering better indoor air quality.
Less Energy Consumption
Helps regulate the temperature within your home, resulting in less energy consumption and allowing you to save up to 45% on heating and cooling your home.
