    About Polyester Insulation

    100% polyester insulation is becoming more and more popular as an alternative choice to fibreglass. It is manufactured to the same performance levels as other types of insulation but has a number of distinct advantages including its ease of install and sustainability.

    While not the most cost effective solution, Polyester insulation improves the warmth and energy efficiency of both residential and commercial buildings and is available in both low density blankets and medium to high density sections.

    It is also an excellent solution for decorative acoustics. These are acoustic insulation solutions which are deigned to be on display in sound deadening rooms such as studios, private offices and meeting pods.

    COST A premium option.
    INSTALLATION A safer to handle product, made from imported, recycled plastic. Polyester insulation tends to be firmer and sag less over time.
