WALL INSULATION
Did you know?
A high quality, superior performance wall insulation can reduce Winter heat loss and Summer heat gain by up to 25%!
Internal vs External Wall Insulation
Wall insulation is a great choice for helping to improve the year round comfort of your home by both preventing heat transfer and reducing sound transfer. Non-combustible insulations such as Earthwool® wall insulation—Ecolife Solutions recommended brand—can also help to contain and control the spread of fire through your home or commercial building.
In terms of materials and construction, there is no difference between internal and external wall insulation. What should be considered for each use is the rating of thermal resistance or ‘R-value’. As external walls are more exposed to the elements, they require a higher R-value than internal walls.

What R-value do you need?
The higher the R-value, the more effective the insulation will be at creating a comfortable home environment, absorbing sound and reducing your energy bills. For that reason, we recommend choosing the highest R-value you can afford. It’s beneficial to consider insulation as a long-term investment—with Australia’s rising energy costs, the right insulation can save you thousands of dollars over the life of your home.
Below you’ll find the R-value range the Ecolife Solutions expert team recommend for internal wall insulation and external wall insulation.
