Which brand for which job
The brand matters less than the classification on the label. A few rules that hold across all of them:
- Bulk insulation is sold on R-value. CSR Bradford and Fletcher cover almost every ceiling, wall and partition application between them. See glasswool batts.
- Reflective insulation only works facing an air gap. Ametalin and Kingspan AIR-CELL both depend on that detail, so check the cavity before you specify one. See building membrane.
- Rigid board is for a fixed cavity depth. Metecno MetecnoTherm and Kingspan Kooltherm reach a high R-value in half the thickness of a batt. See rigid boards.
- Vapour barrier or breather is the decision that causes most condensation problems. Ametalin publish a permeance class on every membrane, and we repeat it in the spec table on each product page. See wall wrap and roof sarking.
- Non-combustible is a test result, not a marketing word. Ametalin FireSark and the non-combustible ThermalBreak strip carry it. MetecnoTherm PIR does not, and its certificate says so. See fire protection.
Every product page on this site carries the manufacturer's own figures in a spec table, with the source document named, plus the questions installers actually ask. If a figure you need is not there, ask us and we will send the manufacturer data sheet rather than quote from memory.
Common questions
Do you stock Pink Batts?
Yes. Pink Batts is Fletcher Insulation's glasswool brand, and we carry the ceiling, wall and partition range along with the Sisalation foil products. See Fletcher Insulation.
Is Bradford the same as CSR?
Bradford is CSR's insulation brand, and CSR is now part of Saint-Gobain. On a specification you will see it written as CSR Bradford, Bradford, or occasionally just the product name such as Gold, Polymax or Anticon. They are the same range. See CSR Bradford.
What is Trade Select and how does it relate to Ametalin?
Trade Select is Ametalin's trade brand. Ametalin manufacture in Salisbury North, South Australia, and the Trade Select name is what is printed on the roll. Product codes start with TS. See Ametalin.
Can you get a brand you do not list?
Often, yes. The eleven brands here are what we stock, and several of them make more than we hold. If a specification names a product we do not list, send it to us and we will price it.
Do you price match?
Ask us. Trade and DIY pay the same price on this site, and on volume we quote rather than run a public discount.
Which brands do you install?
The brand does not change what we install. We install insulation batts of every kind, wall wrap and sarking. Roofing blanket, safety mesh, spacers, thermal break, rigid board and mass loaded vinyl are supply only, because those go on in the roofer's window as the sheets go down.
Ordering and delivery
We supply trade and DIY at the same price. Delivery is free within 50 km of our Epping warehouse with no minimum order, and a flat $55 per order elsewhere in Victoria and New South Wales.
