Product details

Description

Valuepoly Ceiling Insulation enhances comfort and energy savings in homes and businesses by regulating indoor temperatures. The thermal and acoustic ceiling batts insulate against outdoor temperature extremes and reduce noise transfer between rooms and floors. This creates a quieter, more comfortable indoor space.

Key Benefits:

  • Eco-Friendly & Sustainable: made from 80% recycled plastic bottles
  • Non-Toxic & Non-Irritant: allowing for people friendly installation without the need for gloves, specialised equipment or glass splinters embedded in your skin
  • Fire & Moisture Resistance: polyester insulation is a non-flammable material due to its self-extinguishing properties that prevent it from catching fire. Additionally, it is hydrophobic, meaning it does not absorb water
  • Achieve R6 and R7 in polyester - by double layering R3 / R3.5 ceiling insulation batts
  • Made in Australia: and brought to you by ecoMaster, a family owned (and quality obsessed) business
  • AU/NZ Building Code: is compliant with Australia/NZ building insulation regulations

How To

Don't let your expensive heating and cooling go to waste. Value Poly insulation has a range of R-values from R2.5 to R7.0, so you can customise your insulation solution and make sure your home stays at the perfect temperature year-round. No protective clothing required, no on-going costs,corrosion or maintenance.

Safety Notes:

  • Check the switchboard for power and light safety switches, before entering the roof.
  • Be aware of any exposed electrical junctions you find in the roof.
  • Never lay batts over electrical wiring. If there is loose wiring the batts should be fitted under the wiring.
  • To fit insulation over your downlights, they MUST have IC4 rating showing on each downlight.
  • If your down lights are not rated IC4 you MUST ALLOW a non-insulated radius of 200mm around the down light. 

What you will need:

  • Ladder (commercial or industrial grade)
  • Knife/blade
  • Drop sheet to protect carpet
  • Flashlight/headlamp
  • Face protection/mask to reduce dust inhalation
  • Clothes you don't mind getting dirty
  • Gloves
  • Safety glasses
  • Push stick [Learn More] to fit your insulation all the way into the far corners.

Pro Tips:

  • Avoid laying batts in summer, when roof space becomes dangerously hot. If the roof space is hot, limit your time to a maximum of 10 minutes at a time.
  • Early mornings are more suitable if you want to install roof insulation in hot weather.
  • Get someone to help you load material through the manhole.
  • Load all batts you can before you start work, to minimise ladder use.
  • Insulate the manhole cover by measuring, tearing to size, and then glueing.
  • Level any existing loose fill, before laying polyester insulation batts on top.
  • Tear sections of insulation batts to fill gaps in the existing insulation before you start laying the top up layer..
  • Value Poly batts are easy to tear in one direction, and tough as boots in the other. In the vast majority of cases, they can be torn to fit any space.
  • If you really need to cut in the ‘indestructible’ direction, use a long snap-blade knife, press hard and cut down several times.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can Value Poly Roof Insulation Batts be used in my Climate Zone?
A: Value Poly Polyester Roof Insulation batts can be used in climate zones 4, 6, 7, & 8 which covers all of Victoria.

Q: What about the installation, is there a warranty for ceiling insulation installation?
A: As it is a DIY product, we cannot provide an installation warranty - the installation process is outside of our control. If you are unsure of installation practices please refer to:

Q: Is Value Poly Polyester Ceiling Insulation easy to install?
A: Installing ceiling insulation may be easy or challenging depending on your home's specific attributes.

  • Handling the insulation is easy, as it is 100% polyester and does not contain any fibres that make you itch.
  • Accessibility can be challenging with low sloping roofs and roofs containing a lot of infrastructure.
  • Insulation can be difficult to install in areas that are difficult to reach.

Q: What is the difference between Value Poly and the other ceiling insulation?
A: Good question. Valuepoly is an excellent choice for those individuals who want all the benefits of a great polyester roof insulation product but at a more affordable price. When budget is a priority Value Poly is the best choice.

Q: What do I do about halogen downlights in my ceiling?
A: If your home is fitted with halogen down-lights, it is best to replace them prior to installing ceiling insulation so that the best possible ceiling coverage can be achieved.  Aside from the fire risk and draught concerns associated with down-lights, LED downlights that are IC4 (IC standing for Insulation Contact) rated can be insulated over the top.  Refer your electrician to Rule 4.5.2.3 of Australian Standard AS:NZ 3000.

Q: Can you lay insulation on top of old insulation?
A: If you have existing ceiling insulation, rest assured that it can remain in place. You should level out any existing loose-fill insulation, or fill in any gaps in your existing batts, before topping up with our high quality product to ensure the best thermal protection for your home.

Underfloor and ceiling poly insulation

I installed double layers of R3 poly insulation in both the raised subfloor and ceiling of my new build (a total of 1770 sq metres in area) After a lot of research and previous experience of mainstream insulation products that have failed in various ways, I chose this product and it has been fantastic. Easy to install, stapling to timber framing (no strapping needed- anyone can install this ) no itchy skin or irritation. Most importantly, rodents don't like it and it won't absorb water. I also like that the loft is retained as I have found other brands to compress (and soak up water and house rodents) Ecomaster also very easy to work with, facilitating this custom order. Highly recommend
