Wall Insulation Services & Installers

Wall weighs in as the second-most important insulation behind roof and ceiling, to improve the overall thermal comfort within your home.

Insulating your walls provides thermal benefits by creating a barrier for heat transfer in and out of your home, which can be as high as 25%.

We can provide a range of insulation solutions for walls, including thermal and acoustic batts and our exclusive Envirowall retrofit cavity wall insulation for existing homes.

Envirowall by Enviroflex is a cost-effective insulation designed for existing homes and renovations.

The Envirowall system is one of the most energy efficient insulation solutions, providing thermal benefits by creating a barrier for heat transfer in and out of your home.

Envirowall effectively fills the cavity between the internal plasterboard and external facade using a ‘blow-in’ technique, with minimal disruption to your home. It can be installed either externally through brick, brick veneer, double brick and weatherboard, or internally through plasterboard (where external restrictions apply).

Envirowall retrofit cavity insulation also provides acoustic improvements and can be used for internal walls to ensure noise does not carry between rooms

NEW BUILDS

External walls should be insulated to reduce radiant, conducted and convected heat transfer.

Wall insulation can be installed:

  • within cavities
  • within stud frames
  • on the outside of stud frames
  • on the inside or outside of solid walls.

Depending on the particular situation, some forms of insulation can double as a vapour or moisture barrier.

Most walls benefit from added insulation, and it is possible to add insulation to most construction types used in Australia. Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) already has a reasonable degree of insulation built into the blocks themselves, and straw bale is an extremely highly insulated system. Apart from these exceptions, added wall insulation is essential in all climates.

FAQ’s

How do I know if I have any wall insulation?

There are a few ways to check

  1. With an Infrared device
  2. By pulling off the power point covers and checking behind them, can be deceiving though as insulation  has sometimes found to have only been installed to a small area around the points to indicate insulation.
  3. Looking down wall cavity from inside the roof

To decrease air flow and act as a secondary barrier for your bulk insulation allowing greater efficiency. Wraps shield your home from radiant heat. They also assist in protecting the structure during build from the weather.
