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.
