TLX Silver Multifoil Insulation - 1.2m x 10m x 30mm

Multi-foil insulation is a type of thermal insulation material composed of several layers of reflective foil, often with additional materials such as foam or bubble wrap sandwiched in between. The reflective foil layers work by reflecting radiant heat, preventing it from entering or escaping a building, thus helping to maintain desired temperatures and improve energy efficiency. This type of insulation is popular for its lightweight and flexible nature, making it easy to install in various construction applications, such as roofs, walls, and floors. Multi-foil insulation is known for its high thermal performance and is often chosen for its effectiveness in reducing heat loss or gain in buildings.

A vapour control layer (VCL), also known as a vapour barrier, is a material used in building construction to prevent the passage of water vapour through walls, ceilings, floors, or roofs. It is typically installed on the “warm” side of the insulation (typically the interior side) where it helps to control moisture levels within the building envelope. By blocking the movement of water vapour, a VCL helps to prevent condensation from occurring within the building structure, which can lead to issues such as mould growth, rot, and reduced insulation effectiveness.

TLX Gold is designed for use on the “cold” (typically exterior) side of a roofing structure. Install the gold side facing down towards the interior of the building, on top of roofing rafters - before battens and final roof finishes such as tiles. Cut to size with sharp scissors or craft knife and apply horizontally in a continuous roll across rafters, beginning at the bottom of the roof. Easily fixed in place with a staple gun Install with an overlap using the built-in adhesive strip, to ensure an airtight finish. Counterbattens and tile battens can then be added on top.
