Gold® & Gold® Hi-Performance Ceiling Segments
Bradford Gold and Gold Hi-Performance (HP) Ceiling Segments are quality glasswool segments for use across residential and commercial buildings. Installed in new builds, renovations or retrofits, they form a reliable thermal and acoustic layer that lifts comfort and can cut heating and cooling energy use (when correctly specified and installed).
Available across a wide R-value spread to suit climate zones and design targets nationwide, the range is Australian-made from up to 80% recycled glass, low allergen and deemed non-combustible. Segments sit neatly between joists, hold their thickness for the life of the building and are supported locally by CSR Bradford technical advice and a 70-year performance warranty.
Features and Benefits
Bradford Gold ceiling insulation segments help stabilise indoor temperatures and soften external noise for potential year-round energy savings. Low-itch, easy-to-handle segments cut cleanly, slot into place and won't slump, shrink or deteriorate. The HP option adds higher density and top-end R-values for tougher energy targets, extreme climates and commercial ceilings, delivering premium comfort with the same simple, fast installation.
