Pink Batts and Earthwool quotes in Brisbane.
You want a price on batts. Here’s how we do it: a fixed price, worked out online, no one comes out to inspect or measure. Tell us your address and what you’re after, and we’ll email a proper quote within 48 hours.
We’ll quote Pink Batts® or Earthwool® fibreglass batts if that’s what you want. We’ll also show you, beside it, what the same money buys in our own Cellulose Fibre Insulation — so you’re choosing with both numbers in front of you, not just the one.
Fibreglass batts, laid with gaps opening up along every seam. What you’re quoted on the bag isn’t always what ends up in your roof.
$35–$55/m² + GST

“I used Comfort Zone and they have a done an excellent job.”
Both offers, side by side
Batts, quoted straight. The alternative, offered — not forced.
I sell both. Here's a straight comparison of what you get for the same rough budget, so you can pick with real information in front of you.
Pink Batts® or Earthwool® fibreglass batts
Pink Batts is Fletcher Insulation’s brand name and Earthwool is Knauf’s — both are fibreglass batts, and both are what most Brisbane hardware stores and insulation retailers sell. We install either if that’s your choice.
- Cut and fitted to every bay in your roof
- Cheaper to buy than cellulose
- 10–20% of the fibre sits under 3 microns, fine enough to be breathed deep into a lung (national code, Schedule 3 §7) ↗
- the makers’ own safety sheet calls for a P2 dust mask during installation (Knauf Earthwool SDS) ↗
- No transferable life-of-house guarantee — the manufacturer's product warranty only
Read the full picture on our fibreglass safety page before you decide, and see how the two products stack up on gaps, fire, rats and settling.
Cellulose Fibre Insulation
Modern Plant Fibre Insulation, made from recycled paper and treated with boric acid. We manufacture it ourselves at our factory in Tiaro and pump it into your roof as one seamless blanket.
- Pumped in with full contact across every inch of the ceiling — no gaps
- under 0.1% of the dust generated is respirable size at all (NTP TOX-74, NIH) ↗
- Boric-acid fire retardant only — never sodium or ammonium sulphate
- Insects won't live in it, so there's no food for rats
- Carries a transferable Comfort Zone Life-of-House Guarantee
See the full case on our Cellulose Fibre Insulation page or why we recommend it.
As a guide, ceiling insulation runs about $35–$55/m² + GST, whichever product you choose — the exact figure depends on your roof type, the R-value you’re after and how hard the access is. Send your address through the quote form and I’ll price both products for your roof, fixed, usually within 48 hours, no deposit and no site visit.
If you’d rather not think about loose particles in your roof at all, the two products that don’t have the problem are Cellulose Fibre Insulation (a plant fibre) or polyester batts — get a quote and compare for yourself.
Already got batts up there?
Do you have fibreglass batts in your roof now? We can quote to remove them or fix your insulation so there are no loose particles floating around up there.
Most of the calls we get aren’t about a bare roof. They’re about a roof that’s already got batts in it — sagging, gapped, rat-fouled, or just old — and the owner wants to know what to actually do about it. There are two answers, and which one is right for you depends on what’s up there, not on which one costs more.
Remove it
Right if the batts are sunken, gappy, rat-fouled or holding no real R-value left. We pull the old fibreglass out, skip it, and pump in fresh Cellulose Fibre Insulation as one seamless blanket — or new batts, if that’s still your preference.
Quote to remove old battsFix it — top it over
Right if what’s up there is still dry and reasonably intact, just thin. We pump Cellulose Fibre Insulation straight over the top, fills every gap, covers the joists, and puts a seamless blanket over the old fibre so it stops getting stirred up every time somebody goes up there.
Quote to top overSend your address through the quote form and I’ll price it both ways rather than push one on you. If what’s already up there is still doing its job, I’ll tell you that too.
Before you decide
What you should know about batts before you get a quote.
Quick, sourced facts — the full detail is on the dedicated safety page.
The fibre is finer than most people realise
Between 10 and 20 per cent of the fibre in a glasswool batt is under 3 microns across — fine enough to be breathed deep into a lung, and far too fine for your eye to pick up (National Code of Practice for the Safe Use of Synthetic Mineral Fibres, Schedule 3 §7) ↗.
Discomfort is a documented handling effect
The manufacturers’ own documents say unprotected exposure to dust from this product during installation or removal “may cause discomfort of the nose, throat, and upper and lower respiratory tract, especially in persons suffering from upper respiratory or chest complaints such as hay fever, asthma or bronchitis” (CSR Bradford Safe Use Information Sheet, §6) ↗. This may matter more for people with asthma, bronchitis or other breathing issues — more detail on our best insulation for asthma page.
Brand names, used descriptively
Pink Batts® and Earthwool® are registered trademarks of their respective manufacturers (Fletcher Insulation and Knauf). We’re not affiliated with either brand — we’re naming the products we can quote and install, the same as we would for any batt on the market.
Cellulose measured the other way
When the National Toxicology Program (part of the NIH) generated cellulose insulation dust and measured it, less than 0.1 per cent of the particles were of respirable size at all (NTP TOX-74, plain-language summary p.5) ↗.

Straight answers
Pink Batts & Earthwool quotes — the questions we get asked.
How much does a Pink Batts or Earthwool quote cost in Brisbane?+
As a guide, ceiling insulation runs about $35–$55/m² + GST, whether you go with Pink Batts, Earthwool or our own Cellulose Fibre Insulation — the exact number depends on your roof type, the R-value you're after and how hard the access is. I won't pluck a single total out of the air on a website. Send your address through the online form and I'll measure your roof and email a fixed-price quote for both products, usually within 48 hours.
Do you come out to inspect my roof before quoting?+
No. We measure your roof from satellite imagery and the details you give us online, then email a fixed-price quote for the job, usually within 48 hours. No site visit, no deposit, and the price we quote is the price you pay. If we've under-measured something once we're up there, that's on us, not you.
What's the difference between Pink Batts and Earthwool?+
Both are fibreglass batts, just different manufacturers' brand names for the same type of product. Pink Batts is Fletcher Insulation's brand; Earthwool is Knauf's. Between them and Bradford Gold, that's most of what's sold in Australian hardware stores and by insulation retailers, and I'll quote whichever one suits your roof and budget if that's what you decide on.
Should I get Pink Batts, Earthwool, or Cellulose Fibre Insulation?+
That's the choice this page is built around, and I quote you both so you can decide with real numbers in front of you, not a sales pitch. Batts are cheaper to buy but have to be cut into every bay, so they leave gaps from day one, and the industry's own national code puts 10 to 20 per cent of glasswool fibre under the 3-micron size that's fine enough to breathe deep into a lung. Cellulose Fibre Insulation is pumped in as one seamless blanket with no gaps, sheds under 0.1 per cent respirable dust, and carries a transferable Life-of-House guarantee. For a little extra cost most people end up preferring it once they've seen both prices side by side — but batts are what you'll get quoted if that's what you want.
Do you quote to remove old fibreglass batts, not just install new ones?+
Yes. If what's already in your roof is sagging, gapped, rat-fouled or just past it, I'll price removing it and pumping in fresh Cellulose Fibre Insulation, or fitting new batts if that's your call. If the old batts are still in reasonable shape, a top-over is usually the cheaper fix. Send your address and I'll price it both ways and tell you which one your roof actually needs.
Is fibreglass insulation safe?+
Once it's laid and left alone, most of the fibre stays where it's put — the trouble starts when it's disturbed, which happens every time an electrician, plumber or antenna installer goes back up there. The full breakdown of the respirable-fibre numbers, what the manufacturers' own safety sheets say, and where cellulose compares is on our fibreglass safety page.
Get your fixed price on Pink Batts, Earthwool, or Cellulose Fibre Insulation.
Send me your address and I’ll price the job both ways — batts and cellulose — so you’re choosing with both numbers in hand. Fixed price, usually within 48 hours, no deposit and no pre-quote inspection. If you’ve already got fibreglass up there, I’ll quote removing it or fixing it so there are no loose particles floating around your roof anymore.
