Driven by innovation, sustainability, and a relentless focus on customer results — Insultec has been protecting Australian buildings since 2004.
Insultec began as a mission to solve a real problem: Australia's extreme summer heat was costing homeowners and businesses thousands of dollars in energy bills, while making living and working conditions genuinely uncomfortable.
Our founders identified a revolutionary technology — ceramic microsphere coatings — that had been used in aerospace and industrial applications, and adapted it for everyday building use. The result was Insultec: a liquid insulation paint that could be applied by anyone, to virtually any surface, with measurable and dramatic results.
"We weren't interested in incremental improvements. We wanted a product that would genuinely transform the thermal performance of buildings — and we found it in Insultec's ceramic microsphere technology."
— Michael Brooks, Founder, Environmental Coatings AustraliaToday, Insultec is trusted by thousands of homeowners, commercial contractors, and industrial facility managers across Australia — from the tropical north to the temperate south. Our products have been tested by the Experimental Physics Department of Main Roads South Australia, confirming surface temperature reductions of up to 15°C.
Three guiding principles that shape our products, our people, and our relationships with customers.
To provide innovative, scientifically proven insulation coating solutions that meaningfully reduce energy consumption, lower costs, and improve comfort for every customer — residential or commercial.
To be the go-to insulation coating solution across the Asia-Pacific region — making thermal efficiency accessible to all building owners, and contributing to a lower-carbon built environment.
Innovation, integrity, environmental responsibility, and uncompromising product quality. We stand behind every litre of Insultec we produce and back it with decades of research and field data.
Every product we make is backed by rigorous testing and independent scientific verification — not marketing claims.
Water-based, near-zero VOC formulas that are safe for people, pets, and the planet — without sacrificing performance.
We work alongside contractors, distributors, and clients to ensure every project achieves the best possible outcome.
20+ years of continuous improvement — refining our formulas, expanding our knowledge, and raising the industry bar.
We actively invest in R&D to stay ahead of industry trends and deliver technologies that define the next generation of coatings.
Real technical experts, available by phone or email — ready to guide you from product selection through to final application.
A passionate team of chemists, engineers, and industry specialists committed to delivering the best thermal coatings in Australia.
Key milestones in Insultec's history of developing Australia's most trusted thermal coating solutions.
Michael Brooks establishes ECA with a vision to commercialise ceramic microsphere insulation technology for the Australian market.
The first commercial batches of Insultec roll off the production line. Early customers report dramatic cooling results in Queensland warehouses.
