The Friendly Fibre

Good for you and our Environment

We believe that it is important to be aware of the health issues linked to poor indoor air quality, particularly in new buildings, so we test all of our insulation products to international standards to provide independent assurance that our products are safe. Autex GreefStuf^® and QuietStuf^® have been classed as low VOC, which means there are no risks to you during or anything following installation. Some other insulation products commonly available in New Zealand are made with bonding agents which contain cancer causing chemicals, in particular formaldehyde.

The thermal bonding process used on our products means the insulation material is self-supporting in walls and ceilings and won’t break down over time. With no nasty chemicals in out products, and polyester fibres that are not of a respirable size (you can’t breathe them into your lungs), there are no special precautions for safely handling and installing GreenStuf^® and QuietStuf^® and they won’t irritate the skin, throat or lungs. That means no on0going health risk. GreenStuf^® and QuietStuf^® products are naturally resistant to vermin, insect and biological attack – again. No chemicals required.
