Roof Insulation Bunnings
Insulation is a key way to keep your home cool in summer and warm in winter. New insulation can save you money on your power bills, and prevent heat loss from your roof.
Insulation batts come in varying widths, so choose one that fits snugly between your rafters or joists. Cut it to size with a utility knife and use a straight edge.
Earthwool(r) R-3.0
Earthwool(r) is a glass wool insulation product made using up to 80% recycled glass, manufactured with Knauf Insulation’s ECOSE(r) Technology, a bio-based binder that has been proven to be up to 70% less energy intensive than petroleum based chemicals. It also contains no dye or colourants and is odourless.
In addition to a greener, more sustainable approach to manufacturing, Earthwool(r) is super-soft to handle and install, recovers quickly and greatly reduces the transmission of noise in your home. This makes it a great choice for ceilings, floors, basements, attics and crawlspaces.
It is also available in pre-cut rectangles at either 430mm or 580mm widths to suit most ceiling joist centres and installation is quick and easy. It is also odourless and has a 50-year warranty.
Earthwool(r) R-5.0
Knauf Earthwool(r) R-5.0 is a super soft, safe and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional glasswool insulation batts. It’s made with up to 80% recycled glass and ECOSE(r) Technology, a bio-based binder that contains no added formaldehyde.
As a result, it’s softer to handle, has a better air quality and is less itchy than traditional glasswool products. It’s also odourless, rot proof and won’t catch fire or absorb airborne moisture.
The range includes a wide selection of R-values for builders, designers and DIYers to choose from. They’ll improve the thermal comfort and energy efficiency of your building, keeping it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
It’s also a great acoustic insulation batt for reducing the transmission of unwanted noise from one room to another. This product comes in a variety of acoustic densities and thermal R-values, and is available in a range of lengths and widths to suit your building project.

Kingspan
Kingspan is a market leading manufacturer of innovative, ultra-thin flexible insulation products and super high performance rigid insulation systems for building fabric and building services applications. The company’s range includes Optim-R, Kooltherm, TEK and KoolDuct insulation systems.
OPTIM-R vacuum insulation panels are manufactured with a microporous core that is evacuated and encased in a thin gas-tight envelope. This removal of air eliminates almost all heat transfer.
The patented closed-cell foam structure is sandwiched by highly reflective foil surfaces and perforated with tiny, evenly spaced holes for improved vapour transmission. The resulting innovation reduces the risk of condensation in walls with cavities and provides a dual-in-one insulation and moisture management solution.
The phenolic foam system is resistant to burning and spread of flame far better than commonly used foams and passes the ASTM E84 and NFPA 90a 25/50 flame and smoke developed indexes. It also does not melt, drip or produce flaming droplets when exposed to a fire.
