In an uninsulated home, as much as 25% of your heat can be lost through the walls alone in winter, while in summer heat can flow into your home making it uncomfortably hot. All this results in higher energy bills from running your heating and cooling systems longer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003ePolymax vs Glasswool Insulation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003ePolymax is made from 100% polyester and is very different to other Bradford products such as the Gold Batts, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/bradford-optimo-underfloor-insulation\"\u003eOptimo Underfloor\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/soundscreen\"\u003eSoundscreen\u003c\/a\u003e which are made from fibreglass. A key difference between glasswool and polyester is that polyester insulation contains no breathable fibres and is soft and easy to handle. Unlike glasswool which is cut with a knife, polyester insulation is often torn to size. Polyester is the preferred solution for allergy sufferers, although it comes at a much higher cost. Polymax is more expensive to manufacture and bulkier to transport, especially to regional areas in Australia. Check out our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/warehouse-pickup\"\u003edelivery information\u003c\/a\u003e page for the latest prices.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003e100% Reusable Polyester Insulation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eBradford Polymax is made from the same material as used in pillow and doonas, is low allergen and produces no VOC emissions.

The rising cost of energy means that many DIY builders are opting for higher \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/what-does-r-value-mean\"\u003eR-values \u003c\/a\u003ethan those specified on their energy report. The effectiveness of insulation is measured by the R-value not the thickness. The higher the R-value, the better the thermal performance of the insulation. Bradford Polymax Thermal Wall Batts are available in R2.0 and are designed to fit within the standard 90mm joists of Australian homes. To maximise the effectiveness of your insulation we recommend a holistic design approach. Passive design techniques such as shading, building orientation and double glazed windows will also help to improve comfort and reduce heat loss and gains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bradford","offers":[{"title":"Victoria \/ R2.0 \/ 430mm","offer_id":58071395696972,"sku":"PWV-PMW20430","price":130.84,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Victoria \/ R2.0 \/ 580mm","offer_id":58071395729740,"sku":"PWV-PMW20580","price":176.64,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New South Wales \/ R2.0 \/ 430mm","offer_id":58071395828044,"sku":"PWN-PMW20430","price":130.84,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"New South Wales \/ R2.0 \/ 580mm","offer_id":58071395860812,"sku":"PWN-PMW20580","price":176.64,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Queensland \/ R2.0 \/ 430mm","offer_id":58071395959116,"sku":"PWQ-PMW20430","price":130.84,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Queensland \/ R2.0 \/ 580mm","offer_id":58071395991884,"sku":"PWQ-PMW20580","price":176.64,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Australian Capital Territory \/ R2.0 \/ 430mm","offer_id":58071396090188,"sku":"PWA-PMW20430","price":130.84,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Australian Capital Territory \/ R2.0 \/ 580mm","offer_id":58071396122956,"sku":"PWA-PMW20580","price":176.64,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1073\/8070\/3564\/files\/bf-bradford-polymax-wall-blank-2022-2048_587d1818-6d2f-46c9-96f8-3ea7d3023ffd.jpg?v=1790067308","url":"https:\/\/pricewiseinsulation.com.au\/products\/bradford-polymax-wall-insulation","provider":"Pricewise Insulation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
