Warmth head to toe
GreenStuf® insulation works in two ways – it will keep your
home warmer in winter and cooler in summer by stopping
hot air getting out, or in. Its like a huge blanket keeping your
home warm in winter, and in summer it works like a chilly bin,
keeping your home cool. Having a well-insulated home means
that when you heat it the warm air will stay inside your home.
Heating or cooling an uninsulated house is like trying to fill a
bath with water, but not putting the plug in.
A properly insulated house will cost less to heat - it is an
investment that is well worth doing, and your family will also
have better health which will mean less medical bills and
reduced incidence of asthma. As insulated surfaces are warmer,
condensation is less likely to form on them. That means an
insulated house will have less mould and mildew, and be a less
appealing environment for allergy-aggravating dust mites.
Insulating your floor
Up to 20% of a homes heat is lost through an uninsulated floor.
Insulating your floor with GreenStuf® will reduce heat escaping
and in older homes will also help minimise draughts caused by
joins in the floor boards. GreenStuf® Underfloor is specifically
designed for new and existing exposed joist floors and can
easily be installed from under the house.
Insulate for Health & Happiness
We all desire to live in a warm, comfortable home but many
older New Zealand homes were built without good insulation
and as a result are difficult and expensive to heat to healthy
temperatures.
Improving your homes ability to retain heat and the smart
use of clean efficient heating will make your home more
cost-effective to keep warm and healthier to live in.
Good insulation makes a big difference to a homes warmth,
comfort and to the health of its occupants. It is especially
important for young and older people, and those living with
respiratory illness, like asthma and other conditions brought
on by living in cold, damp homes.
Insulate you’re home with GreenStuf; pure polyester
insulation for warmth you can really feel in a home you’ll
love to live in.
GreenStuf® insulation has been independently assessed
by Asthma New Zealand and accepted
into their Breathe Easy programme.
GreenStuf® is recognised as a safe,
non-toxic and non-allergenic insulation
that is better for asthma sufferers
and can help reduce the triggers of
respiratory illnesses.
GreenStuf® Underfloor is a blanket-type insulation that is
supplied in rolls and is simply stapled into place between the
floor joists, and when installed properly it will never reduce its
performance or fall out. GreenStuf® Underfloor blanket is soft
and flexible and is made to fit variable joist spaces which are
common to most older homes, so there is no tricky cutting or
trimming to fit.
GreenStuf® Underfloor is made from safe and durable polyester
so it wont be affected by dampness under your home, it also
has the added benefit of an acoustic insulation and will reduce
noise from foot-fall.
GreenStuf® Underfloor fits snuggly within your underfloor (as
shown below) without the need for trimming.
