Pink Batts and Other Insulation Brands in New Zealand

Fletcher Insulation and Pink Batts

Fletchers manufacturers a range of insulation products and accessories. Pink Batts Silencer has only been around for a few years and comes in the distinct pink packaging. Pink Batts Silencer acoustic insulation serves a double purpose. As well as being highly effective at blocking the transfer of noise between rooms or through the external walls of the house it also has a higher R-value than the equivalent insulation standard wall insulation range. Therefore, with increasing energy costs, it is likely that Pink Batts Silencer will increase in popularity, both from an energy savings and privacy point of view. These high-density batts come in R1.9 and R2.4, and fit nicely into a standard wall cavity. It is always recommended that home owners think carefully about the type and level of wall insulation they need, as getting it right at the time of construction is by far the cheapest and easiest option. All Pink Batts products come with a life time guarantee.

Greenstuf Polyester Insulation with Autex

Autex Greenstuf insulation has grown in popularity over the years. It is the no itch alternative to the traditional glass wool insulation and is particularly attractive for allergy sufferers. Retired insulation installers who, for example, may want to insulate their own house but have had more than enough of glass wool insulation, are often partial to polyester insulation. Out of all the types of bulk insulation polyester is the most pleasant to work with. It is important to note, however, that today’s glasswool insulation is much improved compared to what was available a few decades ago.

Knauf Offers a Softer Feel with Earthwool Insulation

For years insulation installers and DIY renovators had been putting up with itchy glasswool insulation that was uncomfortable to work with. The job was relatively well paid because it was hard to find someone willing to touch the stuff. The only reason it was still being used was that there was no alternative. So when a company like Knauf arrived and wanted to market their new Earthwool insulation, its biggest drawcard was the softer feel and comfort of handling. Knauf knew how much people disliked handling fibreglass insulation, so their advertising kept underlining that when you touch Earthwool, you couldn’t actually tell it was glasswool because it was so soft. Earthwool has successfully managed to gain a foothold in the New Zealand insulation market.
