Best Shed Insulation for Adelaide Summers

Best Shed Insulation for Adelaide Summers

Adelaide summers can be brutal, especially in tin sheds where heat builds up fast. If your shed feels like a sauna by midday, it's time to consider proper shed insulation. With the right products, you can transform your shed into a cool, usable space all year round.

Why You Should Insulate Your Shed

Insulation does more than just improve comfort. It protects your belongings, reduces energy usage, and adds value to your property. Key benefits include:

  • ✅ Keeps your shed cool in summer and warm in winter
  • ✅ Reduces heat damage to tools, appliances and gear
  • ✅ Minimises condensation and moisture issues
  • ✅ Creates a more liveable workspace or retreat

Top Shed Insulation Products for Adelaide Heat

1. ThermalBreak 7 – Reflective Foil Insulation

Perfect for metal sheds, this 7mm foil wrap reflects radiant heat and acts as a vapour barrier. It’s ideal for lining the underside of roof sheets to prevent the sun’s heat from penetrating your shed.

2. Earthwool R2.0–R2.7 Wall Batts

Wall batts are essential for stopping heat transfer through your shed’s walls. Earthwool is low-irritant, non-combustible and made for Australian conditions. It’s available in standard widths for steel framing—perfect for DIY or pro installs.

3. Earthwool FloorShield

If your shed is raised off the ground, don’t ignore the floor. Heat (and cold) can radiate through the base, but underfloor insulation can prevent this while reducing noise and moisture.
