Where we work · Climate Zone 5
Cellulose insulation in South Burnett.
Kingaroy and Nanango sit on an elevated inland tableland with genuinely cold, heavily frost-prone winters plus hot summers. This is Zone 5 country where insulation has to work hard both ways, and we bring factory-direct cellulose to it from Tiaro.
The local picture
What South Burnett homes actually need.
The South Burnett is peanut and grazing country up on an elevated tableland, and it gets genuinely cold: regular sub-zero frosty mornings (Nanango's July nights average under 3°C, with records near −7°C) on top of hot summers that still push toward 40°C. This is the place where insulation has to work hardest both ways. Ceiling insulation holds winter warmth in, and a separate underfloor story matters for the many older timber homes on stumps that bleed heat through the floor on frosty nights. Make no mistake: out here it's a Zone 5 cold-winter job, not a coastal beat-the-heat-only one.

- Kingaroy (≈10,300) is the South Burnett's main town and Nanango (≈3,700) one of Queensland's oldest, both full of older timber homes on stumps that feel every frost.
The South Burnett tableland is NCC Climate Zone 5 (cool winters, warm summers), NOT coastal Zone 2. This is decisively a cold-winter insulation job: ceiling to hold the warmth in, and underfloor for the many stumped homes that bleed heat on frosty nights.
The honest R-value guide for your zoneWhat we’d recommend in South Burnett
The insulation that suits South Burnett homes, and why.
Kingaroy and Nanango sit high on a cold tableland with regular sub-zero frosts, and the older homes are on stumps, so underfloor insulation stops the heat bleeding out through the floor on frosty nights.
With cold nights and hot summers, a deep cellulose ceiling retains winter warmth and slows summer heat gain, earning its keep on both the heater and the air-con.
