Frequently Asked Questions

Will underfloor insulation make a noticeable difference?

Yes—especially in homes with timber floors. Without underfloor insulation, up to 20% of your heating and cooling can be lost through the floor. You’ll likely notice warmer floors in winter, reduced draughts, and better temperature stability throughout your home - making it a smart, long-term investment for both comfort and cost savings. Many people also report needing their heater or air con less often after installation.

Is it safe and environmentally friendly?

If you’re using Polymax, yes! It’s made from 100% polyester (like a doona), contains no nasty chemicals, and won’t irritate your skin or lungs. It’s also non-toxic, low allergen, and fully recyclable—so it’s better for you and the planet.  And it carries a 70 year warranty.

What is underfloor insulation made from?

Our most popular underfloor insulation, Polymax, is made from 100% thermally bonded polyester fibres—the same safe, soft material used in quilts and pillows. It contains no glass wool, formaldehyde, or itchy fibres, making it safe to touch, low allergen, and ideal for DIY installs. It’s also fully recyclable and proudly made in Australia.

Can I install it myself, or do I need a professional?

If you're reasonably handy, you can absolutely DIY underfloor insulation! Polymax is safe and itch-free to handle.  We provide clear, step-by-step guides to help you through it. That   said, if your floor is very low to the ground or access is tricky, you may prefer to hire a pro.  Please contact us for a referral to a trusted installer in your area.

polymax

When it works it is convenient to install but firstly I thought I was getting 3 rolls per pack (as per the 450mm and picture) but I ended up getting 2 per pack because I didn't notice the fine print so I don't have enough product and ended up going to Bunnings for the rest. Then I found out that the 10m rolls I thought I was getting are actually 9.2 - 9.5m so I have even less than I thought. This is in the process of being resolved which they have been good about, but still not resolved.

What I really need is the 500mm width rolls for a small area of my project, but they only supply > 200m2 of this width so I have to do something else there. Of course it is the most difficult bit of the project, so I didn't realise the joist widths there are different from the rest.

In all if I'd known about all these issues I wouldn't have started but now I'm stuck with 5 rolls of the stuff (thought I was getting 15, have put in 5) that I need to put somewhere so I'm trying to complete. It's an old kitchen so I expected issues and tried to make it easy for myself but this is too much. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to staple it down because I've had enough.

The good things - not itchy, easy to work with when joist widths correct, feel happier about avoiding wiring issues than the other stuff, doesn't burn.

Hi Liz,

Thanks for your review.

As part of the resolution you alluded to, we have sent you an additional pack of insulation free of cost to make up for those rolls that were shorter than the 10m specified. The Manufacturer takes such discrepancies in their product seriously and we at ecoMaster take them even more seriously.

I'm sorry to hear that you did not get the number of rolls expected. We do go to great efforts to make all relevant information about our products available on our webstore; Each one of our products have 'How To' and 'FAQ' sections that demonstrate the ins and outs of measuring joist spacings and installing insulation.

The products also have the 'Specs' section, which thoroughly documents the specifications of our product including its sizing. These sections are readily visible just under the photos of our products and are alluded to in the Description of the Product too.

Under some circumstances Insulation manufacturers will make custom sized insulation. As this is a bespoke solution the minimum order quantities are high to ensure the logistics of the manufacturer are un-hindered. Typically a domestic residence is not large enough to justify the cost of bespoke sized insulation.

As a result, the way that professional install crews manage varied joist spacings is by using the “Turn and Tear” method. This is done by installing the insulation rolls in segments perpendicular to the joist. Indeed this is the way we here at ecoMaster handled this quite common occurrence on over 10 000 underfloor insulation instals.

In the case that our documentation is not ample information, our sales and support staff are ready for all possible questions. Give your helpful ecoMaster team a call on 1300 326 627
