Frequently Asked Questions

What is Fabufill insulation?

Fabufill insulation is a polyester insulation product manufactured by Platinum Fibre using recycled PET plastic bottles. It is available in a range of thicknesses to suit different thermal needs.

It comes as a soft, flexible, and lightweight blanket, making it easy to cut and install in ceilings, walls, and partitions. It is non-toxic, non-irritant, and contains no glass fibres or added chemicals, offering a safe and eco-friendly alternative to traditional insulation. It’s also SABS approved, ensuring reliable performance for residential and commercial projects.

How does Fabufill compare to Isotherm?

Fabufill and Isotherm are both polyester insulation products, but there are important differences in certification, consistency, and performance:

  • SABS Approved – Fabufill is fully SABS approved, while Isotherm no longer holds SABS certification
  • Thermal Performance – Fabufill’s R-values are tested and approved; Isotherm’s are claimed by the manufacturer without formal certification
  • Fire Rating – Both products hold B/B1/2 fire rating
  • Material Consistency – Fabufill maintains a consistent 10kg density, ensuring reliable performance. Isotherm density may vary depending on batch.
  • Build Quality – Fabufill offers uniform thickness and structure for long-term reliability
  • Nationwide Availability – Available at Home Insulations branches in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion

How long does Fabufill insulation last?

Fabufill insulation is made to last for the full lifetime of your building — typically 30 years or more. Its durable polyester fibres are designed to retain their shape and performance over time, without sagging, settling, or breaking down.

Because it resists moisture and does not contain any harmful chemicals, it requires no maintenance and continues to deliver consistent thermal and acoustic performance for decades. It’s a long-term investment in comfort and energy efficiency.

Can Fabufill be used for soundproofing?

Fabufill offers some level of sound absorption, but it is not designed for high-performance soundproofing. Polyester insulation products like Fabufill can reduce general echo and noise in a space, but they are not effective at blocking sound transmission between rooms or floors.

If you’re looking for true soundproofing performance — for example, in offices, studios, or multi-storey buildings — glasswool products like Aerolite or Knauf are a far better choice. These materials have a higher density and superior acoustic ratings, making them more suitable for noise control applications.
