The better option
Knauf Insulation’s residential glasswool range from Carters Building Supplies sets a high bar.
Knauf Insulation’s range of residential better thermal performance s is a popular choice among homeowners and installers. It’s thermally efficient, easy to install, non-combustible, odourless, and thanks to ECOSE Technology, it’s a lot less itchy, too.
In New Zealand, Clause H1 of the Building Code came into effect in 2023 for residential buildings, setting minimum requirements for thermal performance and making a significant change to our energy efficiency. Knauf Insulation is supporting New Zealanders to achieve H1 compliance with a range of tools and products to help simplify the requirements.
The glasswool products are designed specifically for most applications. To achieve better thermal performance and meet the H1 regulations, Knauf Insulation introduced its R7.0 single-layer ceiling batt. Not only does this product provide New Zealanders with one of the highest thermally rated ceiling products in the country, but it also does not require notching as it is designed to balloon over the joists, creating a seamless insulation blanket in the ceiling and reducing thermal bridging. Reducing the need for double layer ceiling insulation, the R7.0 ceiling batts are also 40 per cent faster to install.
Manufactured by a global leader in insulation, Knauf Insulation glasswool with ECOSE Technology outperforms traditional glasswool, contains no harmful ingredients, is low in VOCs and is low in embodied carbon. These claims are backed by an array of certifications including DECLARE Red-List Free, Eurofins Gold and Global GreenTagCert GreenRate Level A.
Knauf Insulation is supporting people at every stage of the building process. Specifiers and architects benefit from Knauf Insulation’s free and easy-to-use H1 calculator to ensure that projects meet H1 regulations. Installer safety is also ensured with soft-to-touch and easy-to-install R7.0 single-layer ceiling batts, and homeowners can rest assured that their home will be comfortable year-round. It’s insulation without compromise.
