Cool or Cosy - Natural Insulation Cool or Cosy is ceiling insulation made from recycled paper, treated with fire retarding, and insect resisting chemicals. Shredded newsprint is treated with borax and boric acid, creating a fluffy wool-like substance with exceptional thermal insulating properties. The effect of the treatment is permanent, preventing any form of chemical leaching. Cool or Cosy is non-hazardous, and is quite suitable for people suffering allergies or asthma. Cool or Cosy does not absorb moisture, eliminating problems such as black mould on ceilings by starving the fungus of dampness required for it's growth.

Cool in Summer (up to 8 degrees) - Cosy in Winter (warmer, save up to 40% on fuel bills).

Another advantage of Cool or Cosy is its sound inhibiting quality, reducing noise by up to 9dB's.

Aluminium Concertina Foil Batts are an Australian invented, owned and manufactured product developed as an alternative to fibreglass batts.

Winner of the 1995 Australian Energy Award, Foil Batts are the radiant heat barrier for ceilings, roofs, walls and floors providing a thermal envelope that will not store heat or moisture and is the perfect insulation to keep the summer heat out and the winter warmth in.

Concertina Foil Batts eliminates radiant heat. For instance, in summer the ground floor of a two storey home is much cooler than upstairs, the reason being that radiant heat is nonexistent because it has been broken by the upper floor. Foil Batts laid on top of the ceiling, between timbers stops 97% of radiant heat transfer.

Foil Batts do not cover any roof or ceiling timbers maintaining clear access for electrical services, pest inspection and general safety whilst in the roof space.
