6 Great Reasons to Insulate

Increase comfort levels

Comfort for keeps – Warmer in winter and Cooler in summer. Insulation is a proven performer, improving comfort in the home by reducing heat gain/loss through walls and ceilings. By acting as a barrier from the extreme heat of our Australian summers, the inside temperature of you home can be up to 8oc – 12 oc cooler than an un-insulated or poorly insulated home. It also works just as efficiently in winter as they do in summer. Improve comfort by also reducing noise transfer through ceilings and walls.

Save on energy bills

Pays for itself in as little as 3-4 years

The Australian Government has now introduced energy efficiency regulations for all new homes. Insulation is recognised as a key component in helping your home meet these energy standards, be more comfortable and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Insulation reduces heating/cooling cost by up to 40% .

Provide a healthier household environment.

It has no nutritional value – so it will not rot, decay or sustain vermin. Pink Batts and Tontine Batts are safe to use and their low allergen status makes them ideal for allergy sufferers. They are safe to use with down-lights (when installed as per manufacturer’s instructions) and do not move around in the attic space or enter the house.

Lower energy consumption

Insulation allows heaters and air conditioners to operate more efficiently making them more reliable and extending their life. Reduce the need for artificial heating and cooling – and because your home is more energy efficient, the heating or cooling unit you install won’t have to be the biggest on the market.

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Climate change is a real threat to our future and experts agree that insulation will play an increasingly important role in reducing our dependence on artificial heating and cooling which will help reduce GHG emissions. For a sustainable future we must act now to reduce our energy consumption for heating and cooling our buildings and homes. Pink batts are committed to producing product for a sustainable future by using up to 70% recycled glass in their manufacture. Help secure our environment for future generations to enjoy.
