Balwyn Insulation Specialists

Ceilings in Melbourne typically use R4.0 to R6.0 batts. Higher R-values improve thermal resistance but may not fit in shallow roof spaces. We’ll recommend the best option for your home during the inspection.

Yes. We use flexible batts or cut them to fit between rafters without compression. Reflective foil can also be added under the roof if there’s limited space for bulk insulation.

Most underfloor jobs take half a day to a full day, depending on access and the size of the home. We work carefully to avoid damaging pipes or wiring under the floor.

If the old insulation is damaged, compressed or dusty, we remove it first. This ensures the new batts perform at their rated R-value. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until a qualified assessor inspects it.

Yes. Brick veneer walls have a cavity that can be filled with bulk insulation to reduce heat transfer. This is especially effective for homes built before the 1990s, which often have no wall insulation.

Signs include uneven temperatures between rooms, high heating or cooling bills, cold floors in winter, or a hot roof space in summer. An inspection will confirm gaps, compression or missing insulation.
