Polyester Insulation - Safer, Stronger & More Versatile....
THE PERFECT HOME INSULATION! NOW 15% OFF FOR A LIMITED TIME¹
Polyester insulation is a safe, non toxic, itch free bulk insulation product. Because of its non-hazardous properties, polyester is used extensively in the medical, food, apparel, bedding, carpet & furniture industries, as well as the building and insulation industries.
Light-weight, yet with very high tensile strength, polyester fibres are durable and resistant to most chemicals, stretching, shrinking & mildew. This makes them very long lasting, which means we can guarantee its performance for the lifetime of your home.
Being naturally hydrophobic & quick drying means polyester insulation repels water and is largely unaffected by moisture.
For these reasons Polyester is an ideal material for manufacturing insulation from. Therefore, Higgins have created an exclusive range of thermal and acoustic polyester insulation products that take advantage of these qualities, and are designed to provide superior, longer lasting performance in your home.

More Reasons to Buy Higgins Polyester Insulation…

Polyester insulation is also easily recyclable time & time again! Plus, as the process of recycling polyester does not require large amounts of heat compared to many other products, the net energy saving associated with recycled polyester insulation has a significant positive impact on our planet. Higgins polyester products contain up to 85% recycled polyester fibres from drink bottles and other recycled plastics, which also makes a significant saving on land fill.
Non Allergenic & Asthma Friendly Polyester Insulation…
The polyester fibres used in Higgins polyester insulation products have Non Allergenic properties and are safe for Asthma sufferers. Higgins polyester insulation products do not contain binders that may deteriorate and crumble over time, or use short or brittle fibres that are prone to breakage and easily breathed in.
Therefore Higgins polyester insulation products do not have the potential to create dust due to fibres or other detritus working their way down through lighting and air conditioning vents in the ceiling.

Higgins polyester products have Zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP).
Zero Formaldehyde and low VOCs…
