Eco Insulation - Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why insulation and why Green Eco Insulation from Colours By Nature.

Homes need insulation to keep you warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and to cut down outside noise. Insulation makes your heating and cooling units work more efficiently, or in some cases, negates the need for one at all! Homes with quality insulation have lower energy bills. That's good for your pocket, and the environment, saving you money and conserving our precious energy resources.

Also by selecting a safe product that uses renewal and recycled materials, you will be making a significant decision in protecting your family and the environment.

Q. Health and safety?

No gloves, masks or goggles are required when installing Higgins Wool or Polyester Insulation. By only using natural products, we have eliminated the harmful effects that some other insulations may have on the lungs, eyes and skin. Also by installing Wool Insulation you reduce the potential long term health risks and/or liability that may emerge in the future.

Q. Fire safety?

Higgins Insulation has been fully treated to meet the stringent and internationally recognized British Fire Standard, providing peace of mind for you and your family.

Q. Vermin and insect protection?

Natural salts and minerals have been added to the wool to also make Higgins Wool Insulation extremely insect proof.

Q. Batt shape, size and installation?

No different to other convention standard batts on the market; i.e. available in 450mm & 580mm wide but evener easier to install.

Q. Performance and associated benefits?

Not only will you be cooler in summer and warmer in winter, your energy bills will be lower, and your home's value will increase with Higgins Insulation resting comfortably in your walls and ceiling. Being energy-wise today means not only increased comfort, it means protecting the environment by reducing global warming, all the while saving you money annually on heating and cooling costs.

Q. Suitable for ceilings, walls and under timber floors?

Absolutely, just install according to the relevant Australian Standard for your particular bulk insulation application.

Q. Will it cost more use a Green Eco-Friendly Insulation?

As we say, you generally get what you pay for! And well for our premium Wool Batts it may cost around 50% more when compared to say the equivalent convention fibre glass/formaldehyde batt. But like using Natural Paints you buying totally safe product made from a natural renewal resource that will add value to your home and not cost the earth in the long run.

An alternate cost effective product is the Polyester Batt which is made from recycled plastic, while not a natural product it is eco-responsible alternative given the current volume of waste plastic available.
