Our number one request for Polyester insulation comes from home owners who are concerned about asthma and allergy health issues. Others wish to use it as they like to access their ceiling space and prefer a non-itchy product.
Because polyester fibre is used in bedding and clothing, people are reassured that it provides the best non-irritant form of insulation.
Just be aware that, other than natural wool, it is the most expensive type of insulation product that we offer.
Polyester also has a higher loft, meaning that it will it will sit higher in the joists, than other insulation products of a comparable R factor. For example, Cellulose achieves R2.5 at 100m - joist height, whereas R2.5 Polyester Batts loft to 165mm - considerably higher than the modern joist.
