When to Choose R6.0 Over R5.0?
The Bradford Gold R6.0 is recommended when: your council or energy assessor requires a higher R-value to achieve 7-star NatHERS compliance; you are building in cooler areas such as the Dandenong Ranges, Mornington Peninsula highlands, or regional Victoria; or you simply want to future-proof your home against rising energy costs. If you are unsure which R-value is right for your climate zone, contact the Better Batt team for a free consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bradford Gold insulation does not require cleaning as it is installed in ceilings. However, ensure the area around the insulation is clean and free of dust during installation to prevent contamination and maintain optimal performance.
To maintain performance, ensure that the insulation remains dry, secure, and undisturbed. Avoid compressing or damaging the insulation. Regularly inspect for any signs of damage or moisture infiltration and replace if necessary to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
Store insulation batts in a dry, clean area away from moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures. Keep the batts in their original packaging until ready for installation to avoid contamination or damage to the material.
If gaps or uneven installation occur, it is important to reinstall the affected batts. Ensure that the batts fit snugly between ceiling joists without compression. If unsure, contact a professional installer for adjustments and optimal placement.
If you notice a decrease in performance, ensure the insulation is properly installed without gaps. Check for moisture infiltration or any physical damage. If issues persist, consider having a professional assess the insulation's condition and reinstallation.
