Cellulose insulation in Sunshine Coast.
Maroochydore and Coolum are humid coastal suburbs with mild winters and long, sticky summers. We insulate them with a breathable, settle-free cellulose blanket made down at Tiaro.
The local picture
What Sunshine Coast homes actually need.
On the Sunshine Coast the enemy isn't winter cold. It's the long, humid summer where the temperature barely drops overnight and the air-con runs most of the year. The win here is comfort and humidity control: a quality cellulose ceiling plus good roof ventilation keeps bedrooms cooler and drier through the sticky season and cuts the cooling load coastal homes lean on. And because it's salt-laden coastal air, a breathable, non-corroding cellulose fill handles the damp better than a sealed-up fibreglass batt.

The honest R-value guide for your zoneWhat we’d recommend in Sunshine Coast
The insulation that suits Sunshine Coast homes, and why.
Maroochydore and Coolum cop long, sticky summers where the night barely cools. A cellulose ceiling plus roof ventilation keeps bedrooms cooler and drier and trims the year-round cooling bill.
Homes near the Sunshine Motorway and the Bruce Highway feeders carry steady traffic noise, and dense cellulose in walls and ceiling absorbs it better than batts.
On Coolum's coastal blocks, polyester underfloor handles the damp salt air and adds to year-round comfort under raised floors.
