Caulfield Insulation Specialists

Ceilings in Melbourne typically use R4.0 to R6.0 batts. Higher R-values provide better thermal resistance, which is useful for Caulfield’s cold winters and hot summers. The right level depends on your budget and how much you want to reduce energy costs.

Yes. Most ceiling insulation is installed from the roof space by laying batts between the joists. We only need access to the roof cavity, which is usually through a manhole in the ceiling or an external gable end.

A standard underfloor job in a Caulfield home on stumps takes about half a day. We work from the subfloor, fitting batts between the bearers and joists. Access and the size of the area can affect the time on site.

Yes. Older homes on stumps often have no underfloor insulation, leading to cold floors and higher heating costs. Installing R1.5 to R2.5 batts under the floor can significantly improve comfort and reduce energy use.

Cost depends on the area to be insulated, the type of insulation chosen, roof pitch and access, whether old insulation needs removal, and the R-value. Brick veneer or weatherboard walls may also require different approaches compared to ceiling or underfloor work.

Yes. We remove old, compressed or dusty batts as part of the service. If we suspect asbestos, work stops until a qualified assessor inspects the material.
