At Insulation Guru Brisbane, our commitment extends beyond just insulation installation to ensuring the overall well-being of our clients. A key part of this commitment involves educating homeowners about the potential health impacts of certain types of insulation. Our latest video, “Fibreglass or Blown Insulation Will Exacerbate Any Sort of Allergies,” addresses an important issue many are unaware of—how insulation choices can affect indoor air quality and, subsequently, respiratory health.

Fibreglass and blown-in insulation, while popular for their insulating properties and cost-effectiveness, have a downside that is often overlooked. These materials can significantly exacerbate allergies, lung irritations, and other respiratory conditions. The root of the problem lies in the tiny dust particles these insulation types can release into the air. Over time, movements such as strong breezes or changes in temperature and pressure can disturb these particles, causing them to become airborne and infiltrate the living spaces below.

Homeowners might notice symptoms like itchy, red eyes, exacerbated asthma, or other respiratory issues without realising that their insulation could be a contributing factor. This continuous exposure to fine dust particles from the roof cavity can have a profound impact on the health and comfort of those living in the affected environment.

In our video, we explore this issue in depth, offering insights into how and why fibreglass and blown-in insulation can pose a risk to those with allergies or respiratory sensitivities. More importantly, we discuss alternatives and solutions to mitigate these risks, ensuring that your home remains a safe haven that supports rather than compromises your health.
