What is your top piece of advice for a client selecting insulation for their new home?

Our best advice is to beef up the insulation as best as possible. Insulation works all year round summer and winter and is so insignificant in cost. It represents a tenth of 1% of the average build cost. Also ensure the insulation is installed correctly.


What are the most interesting trends you have observed over the last little while in the building industry?

There is definitely much more awareness surrounding energy efficiency in home. Consumers have access to greater information regarding this and are wanting it. For a builder it's an easy sell to upsize the insulation.

The footprint of modern homes is changing and so the insulation needs to keep pace with this. The shift to permeable house wraps, acoustic insulation, foil blankets under roof and combating condensation are just a few of the changes happening in our industry.


What are your top 3 picks for 2022/2023 from the range of products you offer?

2023 will be a carry on from previous years, in terms the most popular insulation batt;

  • R5.0 ceiling Batts
  • R2.5 External walls Batts
  • Permeable house wraps
  • Foil Blankets

In 2023 there may be a push to increase overall energy Ratings in the BCA
