Polyester Underfloor Insulation | FAQ

Q: Is Polyester Underfloor Insulation easy to install?
A: Installing underfloor insulation may be easy or challenging depending on your home's specific attributes. These include the height of the space beneath the floor, the spacing of the joists and any access issues. We provide installation videos to make it super easy .

Q: What staples do I need and how many will I need?
A: T50 Staples were the staples of choice of the ecoMaster installation crews and are the size used for most good staplers. You will need about 340 staples per pack of Underfloor Insulation. That's around 50 staples per sq metre.

Q: Do I have to replace this insulation if it gets wet?
A: Absolutely not! One of the great benefits of polyester underfloor insulation is that it will not matter if it gets wet. It will just dry out without any impact whatsoever.

Q: What is different about this insulation to other types of under floor insulation?
A: Good question. This is an excellent choice for those individuals who want all the benefits of a great polyester underfloor product but at an affordable price. Polyester insulation is not itchy and contains no toxic chemicals. It is safe, 100% polyester - just like your doona.

Q: What is the difference between ecoMaster's Polyester Insulation and Polymax?
A: They are similar products. They have the same R value and are made from the same base materials.

Polymax Polyester is made from up to 80% recycled plastic bottles and has a nominal loft of 140mm (there are some variations). We recommend that you open the packs as soon as you receive them to allow it to re-loft. The insulation may have been compressed for transport (NOT vacuum packed).

Value Poly is made from between 45% to 85% recycled plastic bottles and has a nominal loft of 120mm (with some variations). It may have a small amount of compression during transport and may be slightly less than full loft when first removed from the bag.

Value Poly Underfloor Insulation

Ecomaster provided an excellent product and service from initial enquiry to product delivery and ongoing advice. I am a DIY first time installer of the underfloor insulation. Michael provided excellent advice and guidance. He is extremely knowledgeable of the product, the tools (staple guns), and energy efficiency and insulation more broadly. He was able to guide me through the installation and offer some helpful hints to speed up the process, e.g., laying sheeting down to avoid dirt getting into the eyes, among others. He and a colleague was able to give me an accurate estimate of the amount of Ploy underfloor insulation. I had to ring back and revise the estimate down. No problem. There no wastage. I rang Michael a couple of times to seek advice with the insulation. He was patient, and expertise on how to place the insulation over the bearers and the direction to place the insulation. This advice and his encouragement (this is not the most pleasant job you will do) was helpful and meant I stayed the course and completed the job in some difficult, tight places. All up, I would HIGHLY recommend Ecomaster.

Hi David,

thank you for sharing your positive experience with ecoMaster. We’re delighted to hear that Michael’s guidance and our product met your expectations and supported your project. Your recommendation really means a lot to us. Wishing you success with future projects!

Simple and effective.

I purchased 5 of the EMV slimline door seals. Only one door required a bit of sanding to ensure correct fitment of the product. Follow the YouTube DIY installation video and you can't go wrong. Quick and easy. Highly recommend.

Thank you for your positive feedback Trevor! We're glad the seals and installation guidance worked well for you. Enjoy your improved doors!

Valve cosy is making a difference.

Definitely reduces heat loss at the valve. Heat loss can be further reduced by adding insulation to the copper pipe below the valve cosy.
Quick and easy.

Hi Trevor,

We love hearing that the valve cosy is making a difference. Your tip about adding insulation to the pipe is helpful. Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.
