Industrial insulation solutions
Roof and ceiling insulation
Roofs and ceilings play a vital role in your industrial building’s insulation, as they can be responsible for as much as 40% of heat transfer. Using sturdy insulation batts in these areas is key to maintaining stable indoor temperatures and avoiding moisture-related issues.
In Newcastle, industrial roof insulation should have an R-value of at least R5.0. Keep in mind that the higher the R-value, the more effective insulation will be.
Underfloor insulation
Around 20% of a building’s heat exchange happens through its floors. To keep a steady temperature and prevent drafts, underfloor insulation is crucial. In Newcastle, we recommend using underfloor insulation with at least an R2.0 or R2.5 rating for the best results.
This industrial thermal insulation suits existing spaces with a subfloor, as well as most new developments. However, some buildings, especially those constructed on a concrete slab with restricted access, may not be able to accommodate underfloor insulation.
Wall insulation
We advise investing in superior industrial wall insulation with a minimum R-value of R2.5, whether you’re refurbishing or constructing a new project. Introducing this additional thermal barrier between the interior of the building and the external environment can reduce heat transfer by up to 25%. Additionally, insulating the internal walls further boosts comfort and energy efficiency.
Acoustic insulation
Loud operations can affect both your workers and the wider community. Installing sound insulation helps reduce noise generated by industrial activities, from machinery to meetings. To enjoy more privacy and prevent disruption, we suggest installing R4.0 acoustic insulation for floors and R2.0 or R2.5 for walls.
HVAC insulation
A Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system helps to maintain the optimum temperature and airflow inside your facility. To ensure it runs efficiently and cost-effectively, you’ll need to insulate its various components. HVAC insulation can be installed in both new and existing developments and is often required under building regulations. With our leading products, you can ensure compliance and comfort whilst minimising energy consumption.
Fire protection
Don’t let a fire harm your people, plant or profitability. With non-combustible materials, such as rock wool, foil and fibreglass, you can strengthen a facility’s passive fire protection. Fire-resistant insulation is engineered to endure high temperatures, slow the spread of a blaze and prevent the release of toxic smoke.
The advantages of industrial insulation
Lower energy bills
Industrial insulation works to increase energy efficiency, helping to curb your company’s electricity usage. Ultimately, this translates to reduced overheads. With fewer utility expenses to cover, you can direct more profits towards optimising your operations.
Greater sustainability
Enhance your site’s sustainability with heavy-duty industrial insulation. When installed properly, our energy-efficient products play a major role in making a building more environmentally friendly. Cut down greenhouse gas emissions and improve your business’ eco credentials.
Improved productivity
Comfort is key to staff performance. An industrial facility that gets too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter is not only an unhealthy work environment but also a barrier to output. Surpassing strict quality control standards, our insulation products will help to ensure your site stays safe, comfortable and productive in any season.
Quieter operations
From processing and construction, industrial activities tend to be particularly loud. To avoid complaints and fines, these sites must manage noise levels effectively. Installing industrial sound insulation in roofs, walls, and underfloors can significantly lower unwanted noises inside and around your facility. Satisfy local regulations and prevent disturbance to the surrounding community.

Yes, we supply industrial insulation products in bulk quantities. Our team works directly with premium suppliers like CSR Bradford to equip you with all of the products required at the most affordable price. Explore our extensive range of insulation products online or at our store in Broadmeadow, Newcastle.
The Building Code of Australia (BCA) demands different R-values for industrial buildings’ insulation depending on their height and surrounding climate.
As well as BCA requirements, industrial insulation must abide by manufacturer specifications, state legislation and the AS/NZS 4859.1 – Materials for the thermal insulation of buildings.
At Insulation Industries, we have deep knowledge of insulation criteria for industrial buildings in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. Call us today for tailored guidance.
The cost of industrial insulation varies according to the scope and requirements of your project. To receive a tailored quote and advice on selections, call our team today.
Insulation can be installed in industrial buildings during or after development, provided there is adequate access.
However, it’s usually best to install insulation as early as possible in the construction process. That way, you can fit the batts easily without any barriers. Plus, it helps protect structural components from harsh weather throughout the build.
If you would like to insulate an existing building as part of a renovation, we recommend adding wall insulation batts before the walls are lined. Otherwise, it may become more challenging and expensive to complete. When it comes to industrial ceiling and floor insulation, professional retrofitting is recommended.
