INSULMAX BLOWN FIBRE MINERAL WOOL INSULATION FOR EXISTING WALLS, CEILINGS & FLOORS
Insulmax injected blown fibre insulation and mineral wool insulation is the preferred product our contractors use for existing walls, ceilings and sub floors. Manufactured by melting and spinning inert minerals to form fine strands, these strands are then milled to form a very high performing blown micro fibre insulation.
An inert water repellent agent is then added which makes the product very resistant to the absorption of liquid water. The products used will not wick water and are a fully breathable. The milled micro fibres are able to be blow installed via small holes.
BENEFITS OF INSULMAX INSULATION
All Insulmax injected blown fibre insulation products are installed by qualified, experienced, professional installers to local TA code requirements.
THERMAL EFFECTIVENESS OF INSULMAX BLOWN FIBRE MINERAL WOOL INSULATION
The thermal performance of Insulmax® is better than most types of conventional segment insulation. It is the only retro wall insulation method to be awarded CodeMark certification. The fineness of the micro fibres also contributes to its exceptional thermal insulation properties and allows it be densely packed into ceiling cavities so that it will not settle, sag or slump.
The position of Insulmax® as the innovative market leader in the Retrofit Wall Insulation industry was confirmed on 27th May 2016 when it became the first N.Z insulation company to be awarded CodeMark certification for its Retrofit Wall Insulation Method. The CodeMark certification includes all types of common existing buildings in New Zealand. Compliance of the system with the requirements of clauses B1, B2, F2, E2, C3 and H1 of the N.Z Building Code is monitored by the CodeMark certification body AssureQuality.
We used a FLIR camera to show you the effectiveness of injecting insulmax blown fibre insulation into the existing walls of your homes. Just look at the photos below to see the difference!
INSULMAX® EXISTING CAVITY WALL INSULATION
Insulmax® Existing Cavity Wall Insulation is manufactured in Europe by melting and spinning inert minerals to form fine strands. These strands are then milled to form a very high performing blown micro fibre insulation. An inert water repellent agent is then added which makes the product very resistant to the absorption of liquid water. Insulmax® Existing Wall Insulation will not wick water but is a fully breathable product.
The milled micro fibres are able to be blow installed via small holes – as small as 16mm in brick clad homes. The fineness of the micro fibres also contributes to its exceptional thermal insulation properties and allows it be densely packed into wall cavities so that it will not settle, sag or slump.
At installed densities Insulmax® Existing Cavity Wall Insulation has been tested to provide an insulation rating of R2.8 /100mm and has been given the highest rating of non combustibility and it’s rated settling is S1 (less than 1% or unmeasurable). We use products manufactured to ISO 9001 Quality Standards.
INSULMAX® CEILING INSULATION
Insulmax® Ceiling Insulation is manufactured in Europe by melting and spinning inert minerals to form fine strands. These strands are then milled to form a fibre designed to be a top performing loose full product able to be installed as a blown in blanket system. The addition of an inert water repellent agent makes the product very resistant to the absorption of liquid water.
The coarser nature of Insulmax® Ceiling insulation makes it ideally suited to being blown long distances and is ideal for insulating low pitch roof spaces
At installed densities Insulmax® ceiling insulation has been tested to provide an insulation rating of R2.3 /100mm and has been given the highest rating of non combustibility and it’s rated settling is S1 (less than 1% or unmeasurable). We use products manufactured to ISO 9001 Quality Standards.
INSULMAX® ACOUSTIC INSULATION
Insulmax® Existing Cavity Wall Insulation and Insulmax® Ceiling Insulation both have good sound attenuation properties and the choice of product is dependent upon whether the application is a closed cavity or a blow in blanket application.
In a closed cavity application Insulmax® Accoustic insulation is approximately 50% more dense than off the shelf acoustic insulation products.
