Technical Resources

Strong thermal performance is achieved through low thermal conductivity and consistent installation, which are key features of Trufill®. In addition, installers can achieve different R-Values by selecting the appropriate thickness and installed weight per square metre.

To ensure the stated R-Value is achieved, the required density and thickness must be installed according to manufacturer guidelines. If these levels are not met, thermal performance will decrease. Therefore, correct installation plays an important role in delivering reliable results.

Additional Information

Trufill® offers excellent thermal performance due to its low thermal conductivity and complete, consistent installation. Furthermore, it provides flexibility in R-Value selection through variations in installed thickness and weight per square metre. 

The stated R-Value depends on installing the required density at the specified thickness, in line with manufacturer guidelines. If installation falls below these levels, performance will reduce. As a result, correct installation is essential for reliable and compliant outcomes.

Equipment Required
To achieve the required R-Value, this product must be installed using an approved blowing machine and equipment. Installation must be complete inline with the system guidelines and by an Approved Installer.
Packaging
Packaged in a strong, durable poly bag, Trufill® is well protected against damage, dust, and moisture during transport and storage. In addition, the packaging is designed to stack securely without slipping, making handling and on-site storage easier and more efficient.
Durability

– Non-combustible, non-corrosive.
– Will not rot, mildew or deteriorate.
– Will not sustain vermin.
– Will not settle.
– Consistent, reliable performance.
– Performs for the lifetime of the building.

Acoustic Performance
Improves sound transmission class (STC) by between 4 and 10 points.
Thermal Performance
Each bag contains a high percentage of recycled glass content. Carbon negative. When used as thermal insulation, Trufill® will recover the energy used to produce it within days of installation. This means it will continue to reduce carbon generation for as long as it is in place.
Engineered Blow-in Insulation System

Through an engineered system approach, Trufill® provides a smarter solution for ceiling space insulation. At the same time, integrated accessories support adaptable installation and built-in performance checks. Because of this, homeowners can feel confident in both compliance and long-term thermal performance when the system is installed by the Approved Installer network.
