Choosing the right insulation for your home or building project can make a significant difference to your comfort, energy bills, and environmental footprint. At Brisbane Insulation, we understand that with so many options available, it can be overwhelming to decide what’s best. That’s why we’ve broken down the key factors to consider when selecting insulation — and why working with experienced professionals makes all the difference.
1. Choosing Insulation? Use Experienced Professionals
First and foremost, always work with qualified, experienced insulation installers. A proper installation is just as important as the product itself. Poor installation can result in gaps, air leaks, or reduced effectiveness, leaving you with higher heating and cooling costs.
At Brisbane Insulation, our expert team has years of industry experience and an excellent track record of delivering high-performance insulation solutions across residential and commercial projects.
2. Opt for Earthwool® – A Healthier, Greener Choice
Not all insulation is created equal. Earthwool® is a standout product for a number of reasons:
Formaldehyde-free: Unlike traditional fibreglass insulation, Earthwool® is manufactured without added formaldehyde, making it safer for both installers and occupants.
Sustainable: Made using recycled glass and ECOSE® technology, Earthwool® is a great choice for those wanting to reduce their environmental impact.
Thermal and acoustic performance: Earthwool® delivers excellent energy efficiency and noise reduction, keeping your home more comfortable all year round.
3. Consider R-Value and Climate Suitability
The R-value indicates an insulation product’s resistance to heat flow — the higher the R-value, the better the thermal performance. It’s important to choose the right R-value for your climate and application, whether you’re insulating walls, ceilings, floors, or roofs.
Our team at Brisbane Insulation can advise on the most effective and compliant options for Queensland and your property type.
Think About Indoor Air Quality
Insulation should contribute to a healthier indoor environment. Products that are low in VOCs (volatile organic compounds), such as Earthwool®, help reduce indoor air pollution and improve overall air quality.
Check for Fire Safety and Compliance
Any insulation you install must meet Australian building standards for fire safety and compliance. We only supply certified, compliant insulation products to ensure your safety and peace of mind.
