SuperFOIL Insulation

What is SuperFOIL Insulation?

SuperFOIL insulation covers a range of multi-foil insulation, a form of insulation roll typically used as roof insulation, solid wall insulation, floor insulation and even external wall insulation projects. Made with layers of insulation quilt sandwiched between reflective foil sheets, it creates a slim but effective insulating layer that is easily moved, cut and installed with standard tools. As well as insulating, it functions as a radiant barrier, reflecting excess heat away during hot weather, and reflecting heat back into the building in cold. 

Where to use Multifoil Insulation

SuperFOIL Wall Insulation

Due to it’s flexibility and slim profile, SUPERfoil insulation has a wide range of uses. It is particularly useful in scenarios where traditional insulation would need to be much thicker, in a way that may compromise the floorspace such as in conversions of solid wall spaces like garages, outhouses and barns, and even van conversions! In these scenarios, it is typically applied horizontally across batten fastened to the wall, and fixed with a nail or staplegun - making it an extremely DIY-friendly product. 

Additionally some SuperFOIL products such as SF19BB and SF60BB, are often used in timber frame and solid external wall insulation, and function as an insulating breather membrane.

SuperFOIL Insulation for Roofing

SuperFOIL is also commonly used in roofing insulation, where it can be retrofitted horizontally across the rafters, secured with heavy duty staples and insulation tape  - for additional insulation, ideally in conjunction with other insulation methods.

SuperFOIL Floor Insulation

Finally, many SuperFOIL products are suitable for use as floor insulation, including solid flooring. A variety of sizes means thicker insulation rolls can be installed across joists, and slimmer varieties such as SFUF can be installed with no air gap in solid floors, where space is often at a premium.
