Insulation - Council R-Value Requirements

R-value - Refers to performance of insulation in restricting the distribution of heat.
The higher the R-value means greater resistance to heat flow meaning cooler in summer or warmer in winter.

To be eligible for the Federal Government Insulation rebate you must meet Local Government insulation R- Values
Minimum R-Value for Insulating your home can be obtained through your local council.

As a rule of thumb the more extreme the local climate temperatures, whether hot or cold, the higher the R-Value required by the insulation product to meet local government regulations.

As a guide only - here are the approximate R-value requirements by location - please confirm actual R-value requirements with your local government.
