Ceiling insulation is a crucial element in achieving energy efficiency and comfort in New Zealand homes. Knauf Insulation’s glasswool R7.0 Ceiling Segment is designed to provide a high-performance, single-layer insulation solution, making installation quicker and more effective for builders, installers, and specifiers.
Insulation Benefits Include
- H1 Compliance & Superior Performance: The R7.0 Ceiling Segment meets New Zealand’s H1 energy efficiency requirements, ensuring compliance while delivering exceptional thermal performance. The single-layer design eliminates gaps, reducing thermal bridging and maximising insulation effectiveness.
- Faster Installation – 40% Time Savings: Compared to traditional double-layer ceiling insulation, the R7.0 Ceiling Segment is up to 40% faster to install. This means less labour time, fewer materials, and a more efficient workflow, making it ideal for large-scale projects or tight schedules.
- A Better Fit with Less Waste: Designed to expand around timber framing and knit seamlessly with adjacent batts, this insulation creates a continuous thermal barrier, ensuring homes stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
- Sustainable & Safe: Knauf Insulation glasswool products are certified Declare Red-List Free, meaning they contain no hazardous chemicals. Manufactured with ECOSE® Technology, a plant-based binder, the insulation is soft to touch and free from artificial dyes or formaldehyde. Additionally, DriTherm® Technology enhances durability and moisture resistance, helping to prevent long-term damage.
- Space-Saving & Cost-Effective: The product’s compression-packed technology allows more insulation per pack, reducing storage and transport costs while improving job site efficiency.
