Polyester Insulation
Polyester insulation is often manufactured from recycled plastics such as drink bottles which would otherwise end up in land fill. Polyester fibres are bonded together by heat, giving it a rigid, yet flexible structure. No other binder chemicals are added to polyester insulation.
Polyester Underfloor Insulation Asthma Friendly and Low Allergen
As polyester insulation contains no breathable particles it is a perfect choice for home owners where asthma or other severe dust allergies are a concern. Polyester insulation batts are recommended by the Asthma Foundations Australia for use in low allergen or asthma friendly buildings. If you plan to install the underfloor insulation yourself, then this may be a further reason to consider polyester insulation batts. This insulation type is exceptionally soft to handle and has no dusty particles that cause itching or scratching, making it an attractive DIY project, as no protective clothing is required to handle it.
