Types of Wall Insulation and Materials
When it comes to insulating your walls, you need to select the right type of insulation to suit your walls.
In Melbourne, the most common types of wall are brick veneer, double-brick and weatherboard or lightweight cladding. Brick veneer and double brick walls have a higher R-rating than weatherboard or light cladding walls. That means that they lose less heat in winter. However, it also means they store more heat during summer, making it harder to cool the home. Weatherboard or light cladding walls have a low R-rating, meaning heat and cold will readily transfer from inside to outside.
All wall types will benefit from insulation. However, the type of wall you have will help to determine the best type of
insulation and installation method.
If you need help with choosing the right type of insulation, get in touch with our team today.
Installation Process
At Affordable Insulation, we make wall insulation installation seamless and stress-free. Our certified team begins with
a thorough on-site inspection to assess your walls and determine the most suitable insulation type and method.
For new builds, we install insulation directly into the wall cavities before cladding or drywall is fitted.
Every installation is completed efficiently, safely, and with minimal mess, ensuring your home is insulated to the
highest standards.
Our Services
House Insulation
High-quality, professionally installed insulation is an investment that will pay for itself over time. A fully insulated home can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 50% compared with a non-insulated home.
Commercial Insulation
Commercial buildings that are properly insulated are significantly more energy efficient, healthier, quieter, and have a substantial competitive advantage over poorly insulated buildings.
ROOF & CEILING Insulation
Since your roof is in direct contact with the elements, it is responsible for a significant proportion of a building’s thermal transfer.
Insulation Removal
Updating old insulation is a smart investment. Old insulation can lose its effectiveness over time. It can also become home to contaminants like moisture, mould, insects and rodents.
Damp Course
At Affordable Insulation, you will find the professional insulation installers who offer Damp Proofing service.
Wall Insulation
Did you know that about 20% of a home’s heat is lost through the walls? Whether you’re building or renovating, getting your wall insulation right can save you up to 40% on your energy costs.
Underfloor Insulation
Unlike roof insulation or wall insulation, underfloor insulation is commonly overlooked. However, hard flooring like timber or tiles can be responsible for a significant proportion of thermal transfer in the home.
Wall Wrap
If you are wondering about Wall Wrap, the Affordable Insulation team is there to help you. We understand that A Protective Second Skin protects your house from any kind of weather damage that arises from the water
Garage door insulation
Whether you’re building a new garage, installing a new door or looking to insulate an existing garage door, we can help.
Planning and Energy Reports
For new builds, the team at Affordable Insulation can help develop an insulation plan in accordance with the relevant energy report.
This step ensures that the project is compliant and places the correct type of insulation in appropriate areas throughout your property.
Here’s why energy reports are important:
- Compliance and Regulatory Requirements
The energy report (typically a FirstRate5 report or a similar assessment) demonstrates compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC) Section J or Part 2.6.2 for residential buildings. The report specifies the exact insulation R-values required in different parts of the building to meet Victoria’s energy efficiency standards for Climate Zone 62 (Melbourne).
- Accurate R-Value Requirements Matching
The energy report will specify different R-values for:
- Ceiling/roof insulation (often R4.0-R6.0)
- Wall insulation (typically R2.0-R2.5)
- Underfloor insulation (if applicable, usually R1.5-R2.5)
The working drawings will show the physical spaces, but the energy report will inform you of the performance requirements for each area.
- Site-Specific Variations and Zoned Requirements
Not all areas of a building may require the same insulation. The energy report accounts for:
- Orientation-specific requirements
- Different building elements (e.g., walls facing different directions)
- Variations for attached vs. detached structures
- Special considerations for glazing-to-wall ratios
- Cost Accuracy
Without the energy report, you might:
- Under-quote by missing higher R-value requirements
- Over-quote by assuming unnecessarily high specifications
- Miss specific product type requirements (bulk vs. reflective insulation combinations)
- Material Selection
The energy report may specify or allow for different insulation types that can affect your quote significantly. Polyester batts, glasswool, rockwool, or reflective foil systems all have different costs and installation requirements.
The working drawings show you where to install the materials, while the energy report tells you what performance level is required. You need both to provide an accurate, compliant quote.
