Whangarei Boys High
By Mammoth Insulation
Even teenage amateurs can install well with Mammoth Wall sections
The Background
When the Common Room at Whangarei Boys High School was being renovated the students got hands-on to install polyester Mammoth Wall Sections.
The exercise is a demonstration of how inexperienced teenagers were able to achieve a high quality installation thanks to the unique properties of Mammoth Airlay Wall Sections.
3 criteria for high-performing wall installation
- Insulation touches all six faces for complete contact without air pockets. Sits flush and square between nogs and studs.
- Friction fit pads must be self-supporting without the use of any staples which create a degree of compression.
- Wall insulation should have no visible folds or creases.
The Results
Mammoth Airlay Sections are easy to work with and lend themselves to a superior install.
Airlay Sections have a unique springy quality that lets it squeeze into position and be self supporting so the students weren't using staples or other fixings around the wall cables.
Cut to size, the sections had a snug fit and a smooth seamless surface - creases and gaps compromise the thermal efficiency of the wall.
The students did an excellent job - a few small adjustments removed even the little gaps in the corners.
Using a lower density polyester or fibreglass blanket, even installed by professionals, would struggle to achieve as good a result.

Our Take-back Program
Talking about taking product back and making it our client’s problem to get it back to us is one thing, actively putting bins around the country and making it easier for our clients to recycle their offcuts is another.
We don’t believe it is good enough to say, get it back to our factory and we will recycle the product. We believe putting our hand up and sharing that responsibility is a necessity. That’s why we are proud to announce we have started the process of putting Mammoth recycling bins around the country. The first two locations, beyond our factory in Auckland, are Hamilton and Wellington. We encourage all Mammoth Insulation users to bring their clean offcuts back to these locations so we can avoid landfill and create a circular economy by recycling them.
