Who Is This Product For?
These R5.0 ceiling batts are the go-to choice for homeowners, builders, and renovators in Melbourne and Victoria who need high-performance ceiling insulation that exceeds NCC minimum requirements. They are particularly well-suited to: single-storey homes with accessible roof spaces, two-storey additions where ceiling access is available, and renovation projects replacing old blown-in or fibreglass insulation.
Installation Guidance
For optimal thermal performance, install Bradford Gold R5.0 ceiling batts in a single layer across ceiling joists at 430mm centres. Ensure batts butt tightly against each other with no gaps. Do not compress the batts — compression reduces effective R-value. Always wear protective gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, and a P2 dust mask during installation. Ventilation of the roof space should be maintained per AS 4200.
