Fitting Roof Insulation Foil

Foil insulation works slightly differently however.

Fitting roof insulation foil.

It is easily cut and placed and reflects heat rather than absorbing it. Superquilt can be easily cut using multifoil scissors or a cutting knife both available in our multifoil fitting kit. Ensure all superquilt insulation joints are overlapped by min 50mm. Reflective foil insulation installation on a roof is usually done in the ceiling attics or other spaces that separate the roof from the ceiling.

Whilst there will be some resistance to conduction thanks to the air gaps between the layers of foil most of the performance of the material lies in its ability to reflect radiative heat back into the room. Due to the varying nature of the construction of buildings each property may require a slightly different approach when installing insulation on the roof. Reflective foil insulation is made from layers of aluminium foil surrounding a wadding or layer of wool material. Usually reflective foil is about 25mm thick and gives a very good u value for its relative thickness.

When installing foil insulation you must use a quality stapler. Ensure overlaps are fully taped and sealed using thermaseal foil joining tape. The conservaheat multi foil insulation system has been specially designed for professional installation and designed and manufactured in the uk. Conservaheat ultra high performing conservatory insulation system is manufactured from true aluminium foil which provides a radiant barrier that reflects 98 of radiant energy to maximise heat reflection and heat retention.
