Comfort
When the weather outside is cold, we wrap up warm with a coat to venture out. Pink Batts wall, oor and roof products surround your home like a coat to reduce the heat from escaping, retaining a comfortable temperature inside all the while requiring less energy for effective heating. Using Pink Batts Ultra insulation with its higher R-values will give you a greater level of comfort and act like an extra thick winter coat. When the summer months roll around youll be pleased you installed Pink Batts insulation, they reduce the amount of heat entering your home from the outside, keeping your home cooler. Promote the sanctuary of your home with Pink Batts Silencer acoustic insulation in conjunction with GIB noise control systems to create quiet zones. Install this in your mid-oor and your internal walls so you can sing your heart out in the shower or catch the 2am sports broadcast without disturbing your loved ones as much.

80% Power prices keep rising and in the last ve years power bills have increased by up to 49%1 - a scary gure to say the least. Pink Batts Ultra insulation helps alleviate this rise using higher R-values and therefore greater insulation performance. Dependant on your geographical location and your lifestyle, Pink Batts Ultra insulation can provide efciencies leading to savings of up to 30%2 every year for the life of your home.
Regardless of your budget, this type of return on your investment just makes sense, everyday, right from the start. Installing insulation after construction can be difcult and costly.

What other product delivers so much with so little effort on your part. Battle high heating bills, mouldy ceilings and cold damp oors in existing homes with ceiling and underoor insulation. With existing ceiling insulation you can further reduce heat loss by adding another layer to ensure your insulation is at the same level as newer homes.

Product Safety
Misinformation regarding any carcinogenic properties of glass wool has been disproven long ago. After 50 years of glass wool insulation, respected independent scientic research shows, bio-soluble glass wool, such as Pink Batts glass wool, does not cause cancer. Think of the effect on your health from drinking out of a glass, Pink Batts glass wool insulation is also made from glass. Extensive research from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) conrms glass wool insulation is in the same category as tea and chlorinated drinking water.3 In fact glass wool is a non-combustible material, so in the event of a re Pink Batts insulation will not promote the spread of ame.

Healthy Living
A cold damp home is a dangerous home, for you and your familys health and thats a fact.4 Wrapping up warmly and putting the heater on is just not enough. To avoid an unhealthy home you need three key elements: ventilation, heating and insulation. Pink Batts products have been accepted by the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation of New Zealands Sensitive Choice programme, because of the health benets provided to your home and family. Pink Batts insulation will reduce dampness, by creating a warmer environment that you can heat effectively and efciently. It also reduces power bills and provides a healthier home. If you have family members suffering from respiratory illness or asthma, then your choice is simple Pink Batts insulation for more than comfort.
