Delivering Comfort and Efficiency Across Dual Homes
Flexome Insulations recently completed the insulation scope for a modern two-unit residential development in Croydon, focusing on long-term comfort, acoustic balance, and energy efficiency. This project highlights how strategic insulation planning and expert installation can significantly improve the performance and sustainability of multi-dwelling builds across Melbourne’s residential landscape.
Project Overview
The Croydon development comprised two attached family homes designed to meet modern energy standards and provide optimal living conditions for future occupants. The builder’s goal was to ensure that both units maintained stable indoor temperatures, controlled sound transmission, and achieved excellent energy ratings—all while keeping installation efficient and compliant with current building codes.
Flexome Insulations was engaged to design and deliver a tailored solution using high-quality materials proven for Melbourne’s diverse climate conditions.
Scope of Work
Foil Wrap Installation
A durable foil wrap was installed around each dwelling’s external structure to form a continuous weather and moisture barrier. This layer helps manage condensation, prevents water ingress, and reflects radiant heat, contributing to more stable indoor environments. The wrap also improves the overall energy efficiency of the building envelope while protecting structural materials from long-term moisture damage.
Glass Wool Batts Installation
High-performance Glass Wool Batts were fitted within the walls, ceilings, and roof spaces of both units. Known for their excellent thermal and acoustic properties, these batts reduce heat transfer and help minimise external and inter-unit noise. Each section was installed with precision to maintain consistent coverage and achieve the required R-values for maximum energy efficiency.
This combination of Foil Wrap and Glass Wool Batts created a balanced system that delivers strong thermal regulation, effective noise control, and enhanced living comfort across both homes.
Project Outcome
Upon completion, both dwellings demonstrated exceptional insulation performance, meeting and exceeding energy efficiency expectations. The combination of moisture protection, sound reduction, and stable temperature control ensures the homes are comfortable in every season and cost-effective to run.
Key project outcomes include:
- Superior energy efficiency reducing long-term utility costs
- Effective acoustic separation between and within units
- Enhanced structural durability with improved moisture management
- Consistent year-round comfort for future residents
These results reflect Flexome’s dedication to delivering insulation systems that align with modern construction standards while enhancing the overall quality and value of the build.
