Make your home energy efficient and keep warm and snug this winter

Whether building from scratch or renovating, make Earthwool® glasswool insulation an essential part of your plans

Make your home drier and warmer this winter, while keeping your cooling costs to a minimum, thanks to energy efficient Earthwool® glasswool insulation

If you’re building a new home or planning an extension, you’ll need to meet updated requirements from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) for energy efficiency. The new range of Earthwool® glasswool insulation batts makes it incredibly simple for DIYers and tradies alike to comply with the changes to the H1 Building Code.

The updates become mandatory in May, so get ahead of the game and start saving energy now. There’s never been a better time to invest in Earthwool® glasswool insulation and keep your home refreshingly cool in summer. And once the weather turns colder, you’ll save stacks on heating bills as well.

Above And Beyond

Install a single-layer solution in your ceiling that actually meets the new H1 Building Code requirement for thermal efficiency (listed as an R-value) of R6.6 for ceilings in all climate zones. The new R7.0 Earthwool® glasswool ceiling batt is quicker – and less hassle – to install than two layers of insulation.

If you’ve reclaimed the loft as a living space, you’ll need to insulate between the rafters. The new Earthwool® glasswool skillion batt has an exceptionally efficient R7.4 rating and is designed specifically for this purpose.

Calm And Collected

With Earthwool® glasswool wall batts nestling between the studs of a timber-framed home, you’ll be enveloped in acoustic insulation as well as R4.4 thermal efficiency for the ultimate in peace and quiet.

From The Ground Up

Enjoy fuss-free compliance with updated requirements when you install R2.6 Earthwool® glasswool Floorshield batts. They are made with a wind-wash barrier to prevent air movement under the house from reducing their thermal performance, and DriTherm® Technology for extra moisture resistance.

Manufactured using up to 80 per cent recycled glass, Earthwool® glasswool is backed by a 50-year warranty
