INSULWEST can supply a large range of products to suit your needs for many different applications required in commercial building. Please contact us for friendly, professional advice and service.
Commercial Building Foils Sisalation products are available for use in tiled and metal roofs also as wall wrap and multipurpose. Sisalation is strong, flexible and durable, impermeable to water and water vapour, is an approved fire retardant to the Australian standards, offers thermal value with high reflectivity and low emisivity, protects interiors from drafts and wind driven dust, is an excellent barrier for heat flow by radiation, convection and conduction, prevents damage to bulk insulants from condensation.
Fire Barrier Glass Cloth is an Aluminium Coated Glass Cloth Polyurethane used in common and parapet walls also under eaves to create a Fire Barrier. Fire Blanket is available in rolls and can be cut to length to suit requirements. The fire rating meets the standards of local councils and shires.
Flexible Ducting is manufactured on our premises for use with air conditioning, dust extraction and exhaust fans. Insulwest Flexible duct is a flexible Wire Coil manufactured to the highest Australian standards. It is available as a Plain Core or Insulated with an Australian made Polyester Blanket. Insulwest has sourced the finest components available and uses Polyester Insulation Blanket ensuring the best possible product performance. Acoustic rated ducting is also available.
Glass Wool Thermal Insulation available in batts and rolls. Glass Wool thermal batts and rolls are highly effective, lightweight, flexible and a resilient form of insulation. Glass Wool Batts will increase temperature comfort and minimise energy costs within your building. Manufactured from up to 80% recycled glass, they provide excellent thermal resistance whilst being easy to install.
Home Wrap ® Unlike other commonly used building wraps, Tyvek Home Wrap is not perforated with holes that can reduce the effectiveness of the wrap. The micro-fibrous, non-perforated structure of Tyvek Home Wrap allows walls to breathe while providing a highly effective water barrier. Tyvek Home Wrap improves energy efficiency by protecting other insulation. Tyvek Home Wrap is light and easy to handle while exhibiting high strength and durability characteristics.
Insultherm Glass Wool Blanket is a high performance, anti-condensation glass wool building blanket. Its thermal efficiency allows significant reductions in heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter and can assist in control of condensation under various types of roofs. Insultherm blankets have a metalised polyester single sided aluminium foil laminated to one side with an overlap of 150mm along one side. Available in rolls, in various thicknesses and a range of reinforced aluminium foils or black scrim facing.
Thermal Break Insulation, Vapour Barrier and Acoustic Barrier suited to steel frame construction in factories, sheds and houses. E-Therm is semi rigid sheeting available in rolls and is very easy to use. E-Therm barriers will reduce the amount of noise radiated from the roof or walls minimising rain, aircraft and traffic noise coming into your shed. Conversely it keeps the noise you make within the shed. E-Therm stops drafts and dust, is completely water resistant, will not shrink or sag and is fibre and itch free.
Suitable for use in metal and tile roofs, double brick, brick veneer and cladded walls.
Metal Insulation Pins to facilitate the installation of many types of insulation materials. Pins are available in various lengths.

The thermal performance of a batt is dependent on the thickness. If you have an R 3.0 batt at 175mm thickness this will not fit into a 75mm or 90mm thickness wall stud. Compression of the batt will result in loss of thermal rating and can exert undue pressure on the wall cladding.
Insulation is rated on either its thermal or acoustic value. If a thermal batt is rated at R3.0 for example, there is no difference in performance whether it is polyester or glass wool. It is rather a personal or a financial choice.
The polyester is not suitable as it wraps around the fixing screws required for installation.
If you have a timber stud frame, you must use a breather foil or breathable building membrane. For a steel framed home a 6.5mm foil faced foam product with an R value of R0.2 must be used in order to satisfy the thermal bridging requirements. There are 6.5mm products in the market that do not meet these standards so choose carefully.
