How to Choose the Right Insulation Batts for Every Area of Your Home
Choosing the right insulation isn’t just about picking a brand — it’s about matching the right batt to each area of your home. This guide walks through the best insulation batts type for ceilings, walls, floors and more, ensuring your home stays energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.
Ceiling Insulation Batts
Ceilings are one of the biggest areas for heat loss and gain. Construct Ramsay supplies R6.0 HP thermal batts (CSR, Kingspan or Bradford) as standard, delivering excellent insulation for Victoria’s climate.
Pro tip: Specify R6.0 HP or higher in ceiling insulation batts to meet both energy-efficiency targets and bushfire-zone requirements.
Roof Insulation Batts
The roof is your home’s first line of defence against heat gain in summer and heat loss in winter. Construct Ramsay’s roof insulation batts (CSR, Kingspan or Bradford) are designed for pitched roofs and skillion ceilings, delivering exceptional thermal performance and condensation control.
- High R-value – R6.0 HP or higher for superior comfort
- Condensation management – foil-backed options to minimise moisture issues
- Fire retardant – compliant with BAL requirements in bushfire zones
- Lightweight handling – engineered for tight roof cavities without sagging
All roof batts come in sizes tailored to standard rafter spacings (430 mm or 580 mm) and must be installed by our licenced contractors to ensure full coverage, proper ventilation clearances and warranty protection.
Wall Insulation Batts
Wall insulation batts help stabilise indoor temperatures and reduce sound transfer. All our wall batts are minimum R6.0 HP and include:
- Thermal wall batts for maximum energy savings
- Acoustic wall batts for noise reduction between rooms
- Fire-resistant wall batts compliant with BAL ratings
Always confirm your stud cavity width (430 mm or 580 mm) before ordering to ensure a snug, gap-free fit.
Underfloor Insulation Batts
Underfloor batts combat cold drafts and maintain consistent indoor temperatures. We offer moisture-resistant polyester and foil-backed batts—ideal for raised-floor homes in Melbourne.
- Engineered for damp environments
- Installed by licenced contractors for secure fixing
- Durable performance under high-traffic loading
Between-Floor & Acoustic Zones
For multi-storey homes or dedicated media/theatre rooms, our high-density acoustic batts deliver superior footfall and airborne noise control—keeping each level of your home peaceful and private.
Fireproofing with Specialised Batts
In bushfire-prone areas, choose fire-rated batts from CSR (70-year warranty) or Bradford that meet your property’s BAL specification. These products are tested to slow flame spread and help protect your home.
