1. Why Insulate?

• energy efficiency
• quieter
• warmer
• cooler
• comfort
• health

Insulation plays a vital role in the overall comfort of your home in respect to both temperature and noise. It also plays a significant part in the energy efficiency, safety and regulatory compliance of houses in Australia.

Heat gain and loss without insulation is substantial, as indicated in the diagram above. Autex GreenStuf polyester insulation can greatly reduce these gains and losses by over 70%, not only making your home more comfortable but also reducing your energy bills and carbon footprint. By reducing the dependence on heating and cooling, insulation reduces energy consumption which in turn reduces the production of greenhouse gases. Autex GreenStuf can reduce the summer temperature in your home by more than 7°C and reduce energy bills by more than 50%.

Insulation can help eliminate condensation, mould and mildew, a major benefit for your health, especially for asthma sufferers. Autex also manufactures QuietStuf, a range of acoustic and thermal Insulation ideal for residential applications. The amount of noise entering our homes, and being produced within our homes, has increased dramatically with more infill housing, road traffic, aircraft noise and home theatre systems. This noise can lead to increased stress and related problems within the home. Installing Autex QuietStuf polyester acoustic insulation in ceilings, external and internal walls, and under floors can greatly reduce sound transmission from outside the home and between rooms.
