Fibreglass Insulation Ballarat

We are your premium fibreglass insulation suppliers and installers in Ballarat. Fibreglass woolis the most commonly used insulation material. It consists of fibres blown or spun from molten glass and collected in an entangled mat. Without a safe work procedure, these fibres can also cause short term irritation to the skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract among workers involved in the manufacture or installation of insulation products.

Typically, glass wool insulation fibres are between 5 and 10 microns in diameter (a micron is one thousandth of a millimetre). However a small proportion of the fibres are fine enough (less than 3 microns in diameter) to be breathed into the lungs.

Binding resins and oils are used during the manufacture of fibreglass insulation to stiffen and bond the fibres together and to prevent them from becoming airborne.

There are many health concerns to consider when installing fibreglass insulation. The qualified staff at Ballarat Associated Fibrous Plasters can install your fibreglass insulation or advise you closely on how to do it yourself.
