The complete resource on insulation placement and product selection for Australian residential builders lives at:
Insulation: where to use it and which type to choose
That article covers:
- Ceiling, wall, and underfloor insulation requirements under NCC 2022
- R-value targets by climate zone (zones 1-8)
- Bulk vs reflective vs composite: when to use each
- Key installation requirements and common defects
- Compliance pathways: NatHERS energy rating vs elemental DTS provisions
Why two slugs exist
This slug (where-to-use-which-insulation) was queued as a separate backlog task before the canonical article at practical/insulation-where-to-use was confirmed live. The content is identical in scope. Rather than duplicate the material, this stub points directly to the canonical article and will be archived or set up as a 301 redirect.
