The following brief overview of the products included within this web site is a good place to start when endeavouring to ascertain the most appropriate solution to your insulation requirements ...

Multi-Foil Insulation

• Actis Triso Super 10 - 30mm - is effective both in summer and winter: In winter, it retains heat within buildings. In summer, it reflects radiation preventing overheating of attic rooms. Certified as the equivalent of 210mm of mineral wool by BM TRADA Certification.

• Actis Triso Sols - 7mm - for floors and underfloor heating uniformly reflects the heat generated by hot water under floor heating systems. Eliminates thermal bridging at floor edges. Reduces linear heat loss and impact noises.

• SuperFOIL SF19 - 40mm- radiant reflective properties, deflect unwanted heat from solar gain in summer, while enhancing insulation in winter. SF19's air barrier properties can control air movement for further energy efficiencies.

• SuperFOIL SF40 - 65mm - has radiant reflective properties, reflecting unwanted heat from solar gain in summer and enhancing insulation in winter, and maximises roof and wall insulation within an efficient amount of space. SF40 also has air barrier properties and can control air movement for further energy efficiencies. In situ energy assessment indicates that multilayer foils have benefits over non reflective insulation.

• SF60 Multi-foil Insulation - 100mm - the UK’s highest performing multi-layer foil insulation, with a tested R value of 4.643, it can be used to reach levels 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Code for Sustainable Homes. SF60 has radiant reflective properties, reflecting unwanted heat from solar gain in summer and enhancing insulation in winter.

• SuperFOIL SFUF - 6mm - under-floor multi-layer foil thermal and acoustic insulation product for use with solid and suspended floors. Consisting of 13 layers of reflective foil, thermo foam separation layers and topped with a PE layer, SFUF is the ideal for use with hot water underfloor heating systems.

• TLX Silver - 30mm - for pitched roofs, walls & floors, is an easily installed, space saving, flexible reflective insulation. Complete with BBA Certification, TLX Silver is our best value multi-foil.

• TLX Rafterfit - 30mm - is the latest advance in multi-foil for between rafter applications, which saves time and guarantees 0.2 U-Value when installed according with its BBA certificate

• TLX Gold - 33mm - flexible reflective insulation with combined breather membrane is easily and quickly installed. TLX Gold delivers an air barrier; allows water vapour to pass through, and provides all the benefits of multi-foil insulation in one space saving product.

• YBS SuperQuilt - 40mm - easy to fit, very flexible, multi-layer insulation that offers significant thermal benefits. Unlike our other multi-foils, SuperQuilt has aluminium foil facings, rather than aluminised polyester. BDA certified, and Class 1 fire rated for surface flame spread.

Multi-foils are most commonly used to complement rigid insulation boards, mineral wool slabs and occasionally mineral glass wool rolls. Generally Multi-foils are available from us in two thickness’s and 40mm.

YBS SuperQuilt (40mm) is arguably the highest specification product. At 40mm thickness SuperQuilt incorporates sheet aluminium in its outer facings, which offers better reflectivity, and performance against fire than the other brands that use aluminium/polymer composite materials.

TLX Silver is probably the best value on the market, offering the lowest price .... yet providing BBA certification, thereby ensuring compliance with Building Regulations provided the insulation guidelines included in the BBA Certificate are followed.

Single Foil and Bubble Foil Insulation

• Airtec Bubble Foil, BBA Certified, multi-layer air bubble film insulation with aluminium bonded to either one face (Airtec-Single) or both faces(Airtec-Double)
  

• Foiltec Single Foil BBA Certified, Foil-Tec Single and Foil-Tec Double are reinforced, multi-layer coated foil laminate products designed specifically designed for under floor insulation.

Condensation! Certification! Unless the single foil or bubble foil is being installed under-floor, or in a wall cavity, we only recommend these products for use in new-build properties. Why? Condensation. Please read the full details of these products before purchase.
Certification? We only know of one company, YBS, who has BBA Certification for their bubble foil product, Airtec, see below.

Breather Membranes and Breather Foil

Breather Membranes are designed to protect a property from the ingress of water vapour, while allowing potential condensation to evaporate. Membranes for roofs come in permeable and non-permeable varieties, and can also be used for walls. Breather membranes for walls should not be used on roofs. Breather Foils offer the foregoing benefits, while also being a heat reflecting membrane.

• Housewrap from DuPont, the market leading vapour permeable roofing underlay is an extremely water-resistant, airtight and vapour open membrane, cuts energy consumption, heating bills and greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere
  

• Supro from Du Pont , with a unique functional layer that is entirely made up of millions of unique micro fibres. These are bonded together to create a maze that stops water penetrating, whilst allowing water vapour to freely move through the fibrous pores.

• Supro Plus from DuPont, with integral adhesive lap tape is a non-ventilated pitched roof system helps minimise the risk of condensation. Air infiltration and convective heat losses can also be reduced with the integral sealing all laps.

• YBS Breather Foil-FR Roofing Membrane is multi-layer aluminium bubble film insulation. Specially developed for use in timber-frame and modular building construction, and can greatly increase the U-value of a roof or timber-frame wall.

Knauf Universal Slabs are similar to Rockwool but with the added advantage of eco-friendly ECOSE^® Technology, benefiting from a natural, formaldehyde-free, binder made from rapidly renewable organic materials instead of petroleum-based chemicals.

Glass and Mineral Wool Rolls

Glass mineral wool is made from sand, spun to form millions of fine fibres, with a resin used to bind the fibres to form a mat of material. Knauf now use eco-friendly ECOSE^® Technology for a natural, formaldehyde-free, binding agent made from rapidly renewable organic materials instead of petroleum-based chemicals.

• Knauf Loft Rolls offer a thermal conductivity level of 0.044W//mK while Isover Spacesaver offers 0.043W//mK (lower is better) and are laid above ceilings to a depth of 270mm - offering a thermal resistance of approximately 6.1m²K/W (higher is better) with the aim of providing a required 0.2 U-Value

• Rafter Rolls are semi-rigid so that they may be friction fitted between rafters. Generally they offer a thermal conductivity level of 0.032W/mK. 200mm fitted at rafter level offers a thermal resistance of approximately 6.2m²K/W with the aim of providing a required 0.2 U-Value. By comparison, the equivalent requirement in a PIR board would be Celotex XR140 - 140mm.

• Acoustic Partition Rolls generally offer a thermal resistance of approximately 2.33m²K/W per 100mm of thickness. Commonly a thickness of 65mm would be required to complement timber stud party walls, and 75mm for metal studs.
  
  

Environmentally friendly Insulation Rolls and Slabs

Currently there are two product types of eco-aware products, these are manufactured using either sheep's wool or recycled plastic bottles. Sheep's wool insulation is effective, but 15% of its composition is made up of chemicals to inhibit the growth of mould, and infestation. Non-itch insulation, manufactured for recycled plastic bottles, is a great way of putting use to plastics that would otherwise end up in land-fill. It is however, quite expensive.

• YBS Non-Itch Rolls and eco-friendly insulation manufactured from recycled plastic bottles.

• Black Mountain natural sheep's wool offers improved thermal and acoustic ratings over most
  man-made materials. It absorbs and releases moisture with no impact upon thermal performance
