Polyester insulation contains no breathable particles and is a perfect choice for home owners where asthma or other severe dust allergies are a concern. If you plan to use part of your ceiling space for storage, 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, making it an extra attractive option for allergy sufferers. Generally, polyester batts are more expensive than glasswool insulation however with so many benefits compared to other insulation types it is an appealing choice.

 

The polyester batts come as pre-cut segments measured to fit standard timber-framed walls and ceilings. Thermally bonded into shape, they are designed to be self-supporting and require no stapling into place and can be easily be torn across the width by hand. Insulate all areas of the wall and ceiling leaving no gaps and use any off-cuts in smaller areas. Do not compression insulation as this may compromise its R-value rating.
