Wall Insulation & Energy Ratings

All external walls were insulated in R2 polyester (fire rated) batts. These are white in colour. All new homes in Australia must now achieve a 5-Star energy certification, which usually implies full insulation,and careful design of windows, shade-control, and aspect.

We also fitted some acoustic insulation to some internal walls to provide better isolation between rooms (e.g. kitchen/bedroom wall, and bathroom/bedroom wall). This is also polyester, but much denser than the white thermal insulation.
