What is Glass Wool Insulation?
Glass wool insulation – often called glasswool – is one of the most popular and cost-effective ways to make your home more comfortable all year round. Made from recycled glass that’s spun into fine fibres, it works by trapping tiny pockets of air to slow down the transfer of heat and sound. The result is a home that stays cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and quieter no matter what’s happening outside.
At Insulation Essentials, we’ve been supplying and installing glass wool insulation across Melbourne for years, helping both homeowners and builders get the right product for the job. Because glasswool is lightweight, flexible, and available in a wide range of thicknesses and R-values, it’s suitable for almost every part of the home – from walls and ceilings through to underfloors. It’s also an environmentally friendly option, with many products (like Bradford Gold and Earthwool) containing a high percentage of recycled glass.
Whether you’re renovating, building new, or just trying to cut back on rising energy bills, glass wool insulation offers a proven balance of performance, comfort, and affordability. And with our Craigieburn warehouse stocked with leading brands, plus delivery available right across Melbourne, getting the right insulation has never been easier.
Why Choose Glass Wool Insulation?
One of the biggest advantages of glass wool insulation is how much comfort it adds to your home. It’s not just about keeping the heat in during winter and out during summer – glasswool also has excellent acoustic properties, helping reduce noise between rooms and from outside. For busy Melbourne households, that can make a huge difference to day-to-day living.
At Insulation Essentials, we stock trusted brands like Bradford Gold and Earthwool, which are designed to deliver long-lasting performance. With the right R-value, you’ll notice the impact on your power bills too, as your heating and cooling systems won’t have to work as hard. Many customers tell us it pays for itself in energy savings before they know it.
