Sound Reduction Index (Rw) is a term used to measure airborne sound transmission loss through a building element, such as a wall, floor, ceilings and pipes. The Rw ratings shown can be achieved using typical building materials - 70mm timber studs, plasterboard and acoustic insulation batts installed between the studs. The higher the Rw rating, the less noise you’ll hear from upstairs, downstairs or the next room.

PINK BATTS AUSTRALIA’S FAVOURITE INSULATION ®
Climate change is a real threat to our future and experts agree that insulation will play an increasingly important role in reducing our dependence on artificial heating and cooling which will help reduce GHG emissions. For a sustainable future we must act now to reduce our energy consumption for heating and cooling our buildings and homes. Pink Batts is a proven performer when it comes to achieving this goal. Pink Batts are committed to producing product for a sustainable future by using up to 70% recycled glass in their manufacture.
1956 . . . . . . . . The first glasswool insulation is produced at a plant in Sydney.
1963 . . . . . . . . Production moves to the world class Dandenong site in Melbourne.
1970 . . . . . . . . Pink Batts establish themselves as the market leaders in bulk thermal insulation.
2000 . . . . . . . New generation FBS-1 bio-soluble formulation introduced.
2006 . . . . . . . Pink Batts celebrate 50 years with a new look and new branding, reviving the Pink Batts name.
Pink Batts insulation products are an integral part of building an energy efficient home. The ideal is to design and build insulated homes that will require no artificial heating or cooling. To achieve this the design also needs to consider maximising northern sunlight in winter through good use of orientation on the site, incorporating shading devices, the correct selection of building materials and considering window design that eliminates the need to reduce glass area (except on west facing windows). Pink Batts have been producing insulation for Australian homes for over 50 years providing increased thermal and acoustic comfort and energy savings. If you’re building a new home, an extension or renovating make sure you include Pink Batts thermal and acoustic insulation and help secure our environment for future generations to enjoy.
