Polyester Insulation|Greenstuf Underfloor - 100% polyester (no itch)

GreenStuf® insulation is made from user-friendly non-irritant polyester which is dust free and won't cause any skin or other irritations. Unlike some other forms of insulation, GreenStuff® will not deteriorate over time, is unaffected by mould, mildew and rot, and is resistant to vermin and insect attack.

Autex insulation products are made from 100% polyester fibre, bonded using heat instead of traditional chemical binders. Polyester is naturally resistant to fire, moisture, vermin, insects, mould and bacteria, eliminating the need for any chemical additives. As well as being environmentally friendly, GreenStuf polyester insulation material is non-toxic, non-irritating, non-allergenic and safe for anyone coming into contact with it.

Although we supply and install Greenstuf for ceilings and walls as well as underfloors , most customers use greenstuf for their underfloor insulation, so we will be concentrating on the Greenstuf Underfloor product with a thickness of 100mm and an R-Value of 1.5. GreenStuf Underfloor has been designed to be installed between floor joists; it should be installed touching the floor but not compressed, with the side edges folded down on each side. We then staple in place using a staple gun through the folded sides to each side of the joist. It is the industry standard to staple every 300 - 400mm, however in areas where GreenStuf Underfloor is exposed to wind the staples should be every 100-200mm apart. At Rodney Insulation we choose to staple every job at the 100 - 200mm standard. In coastal areas we use stainless steel staples to eliminate corrosion.

Our installers often hear from the customers half way through installing GreenStuf that they can pinpoint where the insulation is fitted and where there is none. We have found that over 80% of our customers prefer having GreenStuf insulation to the underfloor of their homes compared to other underfloor products available. It is definitely a product that is hard to beat both in price and performance value.
