Foil Insulation

Foil Insulation

Foil insulation is often overlooked as an energy efficient form of insulation, but it offers excellent thermal performance. Sold as a thin insulation foil roll, it is easy to install. It is made from multi-layer insulation materials, including wadding and reflective foil.

Foil insulation is suitable for use in many areas, especially floors, roofs, and walls. It can greatly improve the performance of your home.

There are many benefits to choosing high-performance multi-foil as your thermal insulation. For example, many insulation products suffer from cold bridging — gaps in insulation that cause cool spots and encourage condensation. Multi-foil insulation reduces the risk of cold bridging. This is because of the stitching used in manufacturing, which helps it act as a vapour barrier. This is key to keeping your home free of contaminants like mould.

A recommended product is Super Quilt insulation. It is designed to reduce cold bridging and limit heat build-up in summer months. It is also non-degradable, ensuring a long life and ongoing thermal performance after installation.

Foil insulation takes up very little space, making it ideal for new builds, refurbishments, and loft conversions where space is limited and other types of insulation may not be practical.

Multi-foil insulation has high thermal resistance at its core. It keeps the cold out in winter and helps keep your home cool in summer — making it a versatile, long-term solution. The multifoil roll is made from many layers of sheets, foils, and insulating materials.
