Polyester vs Fibre Glass

  • Has been used in clothing and bedding for many years
  • Incredibly durable and thermally efficient (eg polarfleece clothing)
  • Not associated with any health concerns
  • Non-irritant, non-toxic and non-allergenic
  • Will never slump, sag or settle
  • No chemical binders (eg; Formaldehyde) - thermally bonded
  • Not affected by moisture, mould or mildew
  • Environmentally friendly - can contain up to 90% already recycled fibre
  • Provides safer indoor air quality
  • No special precautions required to handle or install
  • High performance thermal and acoustic products for increased energy efficiency
  • Made from 100% polyester fibre (no mixing fibre types = recyclable)
  • High recycled content (up to 90%) = low “embodied energy”
  • Polyester will not give off gas and the fibres will not become an airborne pollutant, eliminating airborne fibre respiratory related illnesses
  • No chemical binders or fire retardants (ie Formaldehyde & Boron)
  • Safer indoor air quality - no VOC’s
  • No environmental issues at end of life (product can be re-used or recycled)
