A well insulated home is both warmer and drier, and consequently, is healthier to live in.

Up to 42% of the heat in your home is lost through the roof, and 24% through the walls, says Rob Croot, insulation product manager for Autex Industries.

"By putting GreenStuf® in your external and internal walls, ceiling and under the floors, you will dramatically reduce heat loss and consequently save on energy costs," says Croot.

Insulating your hot water cylinder with a GreenStuf Eco-wrap® will offer further energy savings.

"Insulation works in the same way as a blanket. Fibres trap air, dramatically slowing the transfer of heat and sound through the walls and ceiling," he says.

During summer, this restriction in airflow helps to keep the interior of your home cool when it's hot outside.

"GreenStuf insulation is made from polyester a fibre found in most bedding and clothing. Non-toxic, it does not cause skin irritations, therefore there is no need to wear safety clothing when installing it," says Croot.

Fully recyclable and with a 50 year durability rating, GreenStuf insulation is available in a range of sizes and thermal ratings to suit your needs.
