Importance of fire insulation
Safety & compliance
Fire insulation plays a critical role in the safety of any building. By slowing down the spread of flames, it provides valuable time for evacuation and helps to minimise structural damage. That’s why this protection is often a requirement under national fire safety standards.
Energy efficiency
Our fire-rated insulation products do more than just protect against fire. They also offer excellent thermal regulation, helping to maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduce energy costs. With this dual benefit, you’ll get the best value for your investment.
Acoustic insulation
As well as fire safety and energy efficiency, our fire insulation also helps to reduce noise transfer between rooms and buildings. Whether in a residential or commercial environment, this added feature makes for a quieter and calmer space.
Insurance savings
Insurance providers set their own coverage criteria for non-combustibility. If your building uses combustible materials, they may reject your application or apply significantly higher premiums. Avoid these extra costs with fire-rated solutions from Insulation Industries.

FAQs
Can insulation catch on fire?
Insulation can catch fire if it is made from combustible materials. Fire insulation products are specifically designed to resist catching fire, provided they are installed properly and meet strict safety standards.
Always ensure that the insulation you choose is certified for fire resistance to provide reliable protection.
What is the difference between fire-rated insulation and regular insulation?
Fire-rated batt insulation is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and resist the spread of flames, providing a crucial barrier in the event of a fire. It is made from non-combustible materials.
For a material to be considered non-combustible under the Building Code of Australia (BCA), it needs to satisfy the criteria set out in the AS1530.1 standard combustibility test.
On the other hand, regular insulation primarily focuses on thermal and acoustic properties and may not offer the same level of fire resistance. When fire safety is a priority, always opt for fire-rated insulation products.
How thick should fire insulation be?
The thickness of fire insulation required depends on the specific building codes and fire safety regulations applicable to your project.
Generally, thicker insulation provides better fire resistance, but it’s important to consult with a fire safety expert or refer to local building codes to determine the right thickness for your needs.
Can fire insulation be used in any type of building?
Yes. Fire insulation can be used in all kinds of buildings, including homes, commercial properties and industrial facilities.
The key is to choose the appropriate type of fire insulation for the specific requirements of your building and ensure it meets all relevant fire safety standards and regulations.
Is professional installation necessary for fire insulation?
While it is technically possible to install fire insulation yourself, professional installation is highly recommended.
Proper installation ensures that the insulation performs as intended and complies with all fire safety regulations. Professional installers, like the team at Insulation Industries, have the expertise to address any challenges and ensure it is set up for optimal performance.
