Enhance energy efficiency and temperature control with our residential insulation contractors in Newcastle.
Commercial insulation not only boosts energy efficiency but also creates a more comfortable, quieter and healthier space for those within.
Insulation installation is a key step in residential construction. Insulated roofing, ceilings, walls and floors can ensure the home stays warm all winter and cool during summer – but only if the job’s done right.
Create a comfortable, energy-efficient and cost-effective living space with Insulation Industries. From new builds to retrofits, our home insulation installers can handle any residential project in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie.
We supply and install high-performance insulation for residential builders, owner-builders, land and property developers and a variety of other contractors throughout the Hunter. Call us today to get started.
New and existing home insulation services
Roof and ceiling insulation
Insulation is a must for any home’s roof and ceilings, where up to 40% of heat transfer takes place. By installing suitable insulation batts, you can better regulate indoor temperatures and minimise the risk of moisture buildup. In Newcastle, we typically suggest installing roof and ceiling insulation with an R-value of R5.0 or above.
Wall insulation
Investing in exterior wall insulation with a minimum R-value of R2.5 is a wise move for both renovation projects and new home builds. After all, this additional thermal barrier can reduce heat transfer by up to 25%. Properly insulated internal walls further improve insulation performance, helping to foster a more comfortable living space.
Underfloor insulation
Around 20% of heat flow occurs through floors, making underfloor insulation essential. This insulation helps to maintain indoor temperatures and block drafts. In Newcastle, an R-value of R2.5 is recommended. While our home insulation installers can fit underfloor insulation in most buildings with subfloors, access may be limited in houses built on concrete slabs.
Acoustic insulation
From street traffic to TV shows, unwanted noise can disrupt daily life at home. Acoustic insulation helps reduce sound transfer from the outside world and between rooms, ultimately creating the calm living space we all crave. Couple acoustic floor insulation with an R-value of at least R4.0 with R2.0 or R2.5 acoustic wall insulation for unparalleled peace and quiet.
The benefits of residential insulation
Year-round comfort
Insulation acts as a shield against heat transfer, ensuring homes remain warm in winter and cool during summer. When the sun shines, this insulation prevents indoor spaces from becoming excessively hot, and in windy weather, occupants can enjoy fewer drafts.
Lower energy bills
The average household allocates up to 70% of energy consumption to heating and cooling. The good news? Top-quality residential insulation can reduce potential power costs by up to 40%, according to the home’s size and surrounding climate. This could equate to an annual reduction of $616 in utility expenses!
Eco-friendly heating & cooling
Residential insulation is a fundamental step towards greater sustainability. With less heat flow to control for, insulation not only conserves energy but also reduces the building’s ecological footprint. And thanks to reduced dependence on heating and cooling systems, homeowners can run an environmentally-conscious household without sacrificing comfort.
A healthier home
When unaddressed, condensation on ceilings and walls can cause issues like mould and mildew. Insulation serves as a vapour barrier, in turn warding off moisture damage. To top it off, high-quality insulation can also prevent external pollutants from entering through air leaks, safeguarding indoor air quality. This helps to protect the home’s structural integrity and the well-being of its occupants.

Frequently asked questions
The cost of home insulation varies depending on the precise requirements of your residential project. For a personalised quote and support with selections, call us today.
Residential insulation can be installed either during or post-construction, provided there is a suitable level of access.
However, we typically advise installing insulation as early as possible in the build. This allows for the smooth installation of batts without obstruction and helps protect structural elements from harsh weather during development.
For existing homes, we recommend installing wall insulation during renovations, as it becomes more complex and expensive if the walls have already been lined. In other words, retrofitting is usually best left to ceiling and underfloor insulation.
