Eliment glasswool is an innovative new range of highly-competitive dual thermal and acoustic insulation. It is now available to order from your local ITM nationwide.
Excellent value for moneyEliment glasswool is a fully compliant CodeMarkcertified solution for residential and commercial applications. It’s made with up to 80% recycled glass and has a 70-year warranty. With its innovative binder technology and high-compression packaging to reduce CO2 emissions and freight, Eliment is excellent value for money. For example, a piece of R3.6 ceiling insulation is compressed over 14 times in its 'MasterBag' outer. Open the bag and stand back!
Eliment glasswool has been developed for New Zealand by the Enveloped team, specialists in solutions for high-performance homes, and is manufactured by Polyglass Fibre (PGF). PGF operates a large modern plant in Malaysia which is set up primarily for exports. The majority of its volume is currently being sold in Australia.
A cost-effective alternative
In a tightening market where the cost of materials and labour has steadily increased in recent years, Eliment glasswool can be a more cost-effective alternative and potentially provide significant savings on your projects.
Eliment is available in a full range of R-values for external walls, ceilings, roofs, acoustic mid-floors and internal walls, including an innovative R7.0 ceiling designed for the new H1 regulations, which recently came into effect in May this year. Eliment R7.0 is just 285mm thick and, in most standard truss layouts, will assist in providing a construction R-value of R6.6. Another technique that is becoming popular to meet the new H1 requirements is to cross-hatch two layers of R3.6 ceiling insulation.

Eliment has been through the rigorous approval process by EECA and is permitted for use in the Government’s Healthy Homes retrofit programmes, giving it a further tick of approval.
