Commercial insulation solutions
Roof and ceiling insulation
Accounting for up to 40% of your commercial building’s heat transfer, roofs and ceilings are critical to effective insulation. A robust layer of insulation batts will help to regulate indoor temperatures and prevent moisture damage. Roof and ceiling insulation for commercial buildings in Newcastle should possess a minimum R-value of R5.0 or R6.0. Remember, the higher this rating, the stronger the insulation performance.
Wall insulation
Whether you are renovating or building a new development, it pays to invest in high-quality commercial wall insulation with a minimum of R2.5. Adding an extra thermal barrier between the building’s interiors and outdoor surroundings can help to lower heat transfer by as much as 25%. Insulating internal walls will increase comfort and energy efficiency even further.
Underfloor insulation
Approximately 20% of heat exchange occurs through floors. Installing underfloor insulation is essential for maintaining a consistent temperature and eliminating draughts. For optimal performance, we advise a minimum of R2 or R2.5 underfloor insulation in Newcastle. Underfloor insulation is adaptable, fitting well in existing commercial spaces with a subfloor and in most new developments requiring floor insulation. However, not all structures can accommodate underfloor insulation, particularly those built on a concrete slab with limited access.
Acoustic insulation
Staff productivity and client satisfaction can both be affected by noise. Acoustic insulation reduces sound transfer within and between commercial buildings. From raucous customers and street traffic to loud machinery and the busy office kitchen at lunchtime; no matter the source of noise, our solutions can help to keep your space private and peaceful where needed. We advise installing R4.0 acoustic floor insulation and R2.0 or R2.5 acoustic wall insulation.
The advantages of commercial building insulation
Higher energy efficiency
By slashing power usage, higher energy efficiency helps to curb a commercial building's emissions and overall carbon footprint. Additionally, cutting overhead costs is a top priority for any business. Improved energy efficiency means more savings on electricity bills. This commercial space will also be more attractive to potential tenants, as it offers fewer utility expenses while enhancing their business’s eco-credentials.
Greater comfort
Comfort is crucial to both employee and customer satisfaction. A building with significant temperature fluctuations will deter people from visiting or working there. Thankfully, our experts know how to install commercial insulation properly. Adhering to strict quality control standards, our products and processes will ensure the building stays cool during summer and warm in winter.
Less noise
As the popularity of open workspaces and glass walls continues to rise, the challenge of noise also escalates. Installing commercial insulation in roofs, walls, and underfloors will help to ward off internal echoes and reduce external noise. As a result, occupants can get down to business without distraction.
Stronger sustainability
Create a safer, healthier and more eco-friendly commercial space with high-performance insulation. Correctly installed, this insulation will contribute significantly to a building's sustainability and, in turn, a business's carbon footprint. Ease energy usage, lower greenhouse gas emissions and enhance indoor air quality.

Commercial insulation can be installed during or after construction, as long as there is suitable access.
That said, we generally recommend fitting this insulation as early on in the development as possible. This allows the batts to be installed without obstruction. It can also serve to shield structural components from the weather throughout the build.
In existing commercial buildings, wall insulation should be installed during renovations, as it can become more challenging and expensive once the walls are already lined. Consequently, professional retrofitting is more appropriate for ceiling and underfloor insulation.
