For the last six years, we have been trying - doggedly, stubbornly, occasionally ridiculously - to get a great polyester insulation supply back into Tasmania.
And now, finally, we can say it: Tasmania, Value Poly underfloor insulation is here.
It Has Taken Us Years to Get This Sorted
Tasmania has always been one of those places where we know underfloor insulation makes a huge amount of sense. Cold homes. Timber floors. Biting cold winds. Plenty of people who are very keen to make their homes warmer, more comfortable and cheaper to run.
The problem has never been whether Tasmanian homes need good insulation. The problem has been getting a reliable, sensible, good-quality polyester insulation supply into Tasmania without the freight and distribution costs becoming completely bonkers.
Over the years, we have tried so many options. Different freight companies. Different delivery arrangements and storage ideas. Different ways of grouping orders together - some worked a little. Some did not work at all. At one point, we even put our own truck full of insulation on the Spirit of Tasmania.
It drove over, then drove around Tasmania delivering insulation to our customers.
Was it a great trip? Yes.
Did one of us see a lot of Tasmania? Also yes. Mona was excellent!!
Was it a sensible long-term business model? Absolutely not.
As much as we love Tasmania, we really need our team on the phones, answering customer questions, helping people work out what they need, and supporting DIYers through their projects - not spending days driving insulation around.
So This Is Big News
We are now super, duper excited to have a Tasmanian supply arrangement for Value Poly polyester underfloor insulation.
That means Tasmanian customers can now access:
Great-quality polyester underfloor insulation
Value Poly is non-itchy, people-friendly polyester insulation designed for DIY underfloor insulationinstallation.
ecoMaster support
We do not just sell you insulation and wave goodbye. We help you work out whether your home is suitable, how to measure, how many packs you need, and how to install it properly.
Secured storage in Tasmania
The product is not floating around in freight limbo. We now have a proper storage arrangement to support Tasmanian supply.
Collection options
If collection suits you, we can help arrange that.
Delivery options
If delivery is what you need, we can help arrange delivery right to your letterbox. Sorry ‘goat track’ driveways are out of scope. 🙁
This is the arrangement we have been trying to create for years.
Why Polyester Underfloor Insulation?
We love polyester for DIY underfloor insulation because it is far more pleasant to handle than many older-style insulation products.
It is people-friendly, non-itchy.
It does not slump sadly under the floor like it has given up on life.
It can be stapled neatly between timber joists.
And when installed properly, it helps significantly reduce heat loss through suspended timber floors.
For many Tasmanian homes, especially older homes with timber floors, underfloor insulation can make a real difference to winter comfort. It will not magically turn a draughty old home into a sealed spaceship. You still need to deal with gaps, draughts and other thermal weak spots. But insulating under a cold timber floor is often one of the most practical and effective comfort upgrades a homeowner can tackle.
And now, Tasmanians can finally get a good polyester option again, with ecoMaster’s support behind it.
People-Friendly Insulation for People-Friendly DIY
Underfloor insulation is not glamorous. But the actual installation process can be very achievable for practical DIYers when the home is suitable, the product is right, and the instructions are clear.
That is where ecoMaster comes in.
We have helped thousands of Australian households understand, choose and install thermal efficiency products. We know the questions people ask before they get started:
How do I measure my house?
How do I know if my subfloor is suitable?
What joist spacing do I have?
How many packs do I need?
What tools do I need?
How do I install it without making a complete mess of it?
What should I absolutely not touch under there?
We have built resources, videos and product support around those exact questions.
So yes, you are buying insulation. But you are also getting the backing of a team that has been helping people make homes warmer, cooler and cheaper to run for more than 20 years.
A Note About Pricing While We Settle This In
Because this is a new Tasmanian supply arrangement, pricing may fluctuate a little while we settle into a predictable model. Freight and storage are the big variables. We have worked hard to create a practical supply pathway, but we are still refining the details as real orders start moving through the system.
We will always aim to keep pricing as fair and transparent as possible. We just want to be upfront that the early stage of this arrangement may involve some movement while the model beds down.

Why is Value Poly a good choice for Tasmanian homes?
Tasmanian homes can be seriously cold, especially homes with suspended timber floors. Value Poly polyester underfloor insulation helps reduce heat loss through the floor, making the home feel warmer and more comfortable. It is also soft, non-itchy and easier to handle than many traditional insulation products, which makes it a much friendlier option for suitable DIY underfloor insulation projects.
Can ecoMaster help me work out how much underfloor insulation I need?
Yes, and please do not panic about measuring. ecoMaster can help you work out your floor area, joist spacing and how many packs of Value Poly you need. We also provide practical DIY guidance so you know what to check before you crawl under the house, what to avoid, and how to install the insulation properly. We have a whole website dedicated to making underfloor insulation easy - efficient, safe and affordable.
Can I get Value Poly delivered in Tasmania, or do I have to collect it?
You can do either. We can help arrange collection if that suits you (near Launceston) or delivery if you would rather have it come to you. Because this is a brand-new supply arrangement, we will need to get freight pricing to deliver to your letterbox when you call with your address details.
