New-Home Insulation in Melbourne Built Right From Day One.

Insulation is one of the few things far easier to get right while the frame is open. FreshDuct insulates new builds and major renovations end-to-end β€” roof, walls and subfloor β€” to NCC and BASIX, so your home performs from the day you move in.

Why it matters

Insulation is cheapest and best when the frame is open

Once linings and floors go on, insulating properly gets expensive and disruptive. During the build it’s straightforward β€” which is the moment to get every part of the envelope right: ceiling, walls and subfloor together.

FreshDuct works to the required R-values for your climate zone under the National Construction Code and BASIX, so the home passes and performs. Typically that means around R6.0 in the ceiling and R2.5 in walls and floors, confirmed against your plans.

One team, one coordinated install, one certificate on completion β€” rather than three trades and gaps between them. The result is a tighter, quieter, cheaper-to-run home from the first day.

How it’s done

Insulating a new build

The whole thermal envelope β€” to code, in one coordinated install.

Step 1

Plan to your specs

We check your plans and BASIX target and confirm the R-values for each element.

Step 2

Schedule to build stage

We book in at the right stage β€” before linings and floors close up.

Step 3

Install the envelope

Ceiling, walls and subfloor are fitted to spec with correct clearances.

Step 4

Certify

We verify coverage and issue a certificate of compliance on completion.

The whole envelope

Every element, to code

A new build insulated across the roof, walls and floor.

FAQ

New-home insulation β€” common questions

Do you insulate the whole home or just the ceiling?

The whole envelope β€” ceiling, walls and subfloor β€” in one coordinated install, so there are no weak points left for the builder to chase.

Do you work to NCC and BASIX?

Yes. We install to the required R-values for your climate zone and BASIX target, and issue a certificate of compliance on completion.

When in the build do you come in?

After the frame and rough-in, before linings and floors close up. We schedule to your build stage so nothing gets covered too early.

Can you work with our builder’s program?

Yes β€” we coordinate timing so the insulation slots into your program without holding up other trades.

Do you handle renovations too?

Yes, any major renovation where walls or floors are open is an ideal time to insulate properly.
