Bradford Polymax Polyester Insulation
Bradford Polymax insulation is a high-density polyester insulation range designed for walls and floors where durability, fit, and long-term performance matter. Unlike glasswool products, Polymax is manufactured from thermally bonded polyester fibres, resulting in a non-itch, non-irritant insulation that is easy to handle and install.
One of the standout benefits of Bradford Polymax is its shape retention. The higher density helps the insulation stay firmly in place within wall cavities and under floors, reducing the risk of slumping or gaps forming over time. This makes it a reliable choice for projects where insulation performance needs to remain consistent for the life of the building.
At Insulation Essentials, we often recommend Polymax to customers who want a robust, low-maintenance insulation solution that balances thermal comfort with straightforward installation, particularly in residential and multi-residential construction.
Where Bradford Polymax Polyester Insulation is Commonly Used
Bradford Polymax insulation is most commonly used in external walls, internal walls, and suspended floors. In wall systems, the density of Polymax helps improve thermal performance while also contributing to acoustic comfort, making it well suited to bedrooms, living areas, and inter-tenancy walls in townhouses or apartments.
Under floors, Polymax insulation helps reduce heat loss and improve comfort in the rooms above, especially in homes with raised floors or areas exposed to airflow. The material’s resilience means it performs well in underfloor environments without sagging or losing effectiveness over time.
Polymax is suitable for new builds, extensions, and renovation projects, and is frequently selected where installers want a clean, easy-to-work-with product. We supply Bradford Polymax insulation throughout Melbourne and regional Victoria, helping customers select the right R-value and product configuration for their framing and application.
