YBS SuperQuilt is a BDA certified, easy to fit, very flexible, multi-layer insulation that offers significant thermal benefits. Unlike our other multi-foils, 40mm thick SuperQuilt has aluminium foil facings, rather than aluminised polyester. So .... Superquilt offers a Class 1 Fire Rating for surface flame spread (BS476-1).
YBS Superquilt Multi-Foil Insulation for Roofs and Walls
SuperQuilt, the Multi-foil Insulation for use in pitched roofs, walls and floors
SuperQuilt is a very flexible, easy to fit, 40mm, multi-layer insulation that offers significant thermal benefits over its competitors. Commonly, the outer layers of multi-foil insulations are made of aluminised polyester or similar, rather than aluminium foil facings.
Consequently, with its BBA Certified, FoilTec outer facings, SuperQuilt, is our most reflective, most robust, and safest multi-foil with a
Class 1 (BS476-1) standard for flame spread.
In situ tests have shown that SuperQuilt provides insulation equal to 270 mm of glass wool when installed in a pitched roof construction.
SuperQuilt now has full certification with Local Authority Building Control, and EEC construction products certification - a BDA Certificate.
How does SuperQuilt Work?
YBS SuperQuilt multi-foil insulation is a BDA certified, easy to fit, very flexible, multi-layer insulation that offers significant thermal benefits.
Due to the special composition of multi-layers of insulation SuperQuilt effectively deals with all forms of energy transfer (i.e. conduction, convection and radiation). SuperQuilt works most effectively by reflecting infra-red radiation.
Therefore, in winter, SuperQuilt is not only highly effective at reflecting heat back into the building and keeping the cold out, but in summer Super-Quilt is a very effective barrier to over heating from solar energy reducing the need for artificial cooling systems, and preventing uncomfortable heat build up in the roof.

Fixing details
SuperQuilt is designed to overlap each layer of insulation by 75mm and continually seal along the joints with Aluminium Foil Tape.
No special equipment is needed to install SuperQuilt. SuperQuilt can be cut with a craft knife.
SuperQuilt can easily be fixed with staples at regular intervals (Minimum staple depth is 14mm).
SuperQuilt is at the most effective with a 25mm minimum air gap on either side. Using battens can create this gap. This will give you the maximum insulation benefit.
Over Rafter Fixing
SuperQuilt is fast and simple to in-stall. With great benefits, keeping rafter depths to a minimum, light-weight and high insulation values.
SuperQuilt is rolled out over the rafters horizontally or vertically and stapled in position.
All joints are taped with YBS Foil Tape. At the eves SuperQuilt is cut around the rafters and sealed to the Cavity wall insulation or wall plate. Battens are placed parallel with the rafters and fixed.
A breather-membrane is fitted in accordance with the manufacturers fixing details, above the battens. Tile battens and tiles are then fitted.
Close boarding or plasterboard is fixed above the rafters. Counter battens are fixed parallel with the rafters through the boarding into the rafters with clout nails.
SuperQuilt is rolled out onto the counter battens horizontally or vertically and stapled in position. All joints are taped with YBS Foil Tape. At the eves SuperQuilt is cut around the rafters and sealed to the Cavity wall insulation or wall plate to create an airtight envelope.
Battens are placed on top of the SuperQuilt, parallel with the rafters and fixed in to the counter battens. A breather membrane is then fit-ted in accordance with the manufacturers fitting instructions. Tile battens and tiles can then be fitted.
SuperQuilt is stapled to the rafters. At the eves the SuperQuilt is cut and taken down between the rafters to the cavity wall insulation or the wall plate. The material needs to be sealed with staples and tape to the rafters and the cavity wall insulation or wall plate to create an airtight envelope.
Over Rafter Fixing Details
Where roof height is critical SuperQuilt can be recessed between the rafters.
1. SuperQuilt is stapled to the top of the first rafter.
2. SuperQuilt is recessed into the rafter void and fixed by staples or with battens.
3. The material is then fixed to opposed rafter as per instruction 2.
4. SuperQuilt is then wrapped around the rafter and the procedure starts again.
Once all the SuperQuilt is fitted all joints should be taped using YBS Foil Tape.
A breather membrane is then fitted in accordance with the manufacturers fitting instructions. Tile batten and tiles can then be fitted.
Under Rafter Fixing
SuperQuilt is rolled out to the under side of the rafters horizontally or vertically and stapled in position. All joints are taped with YBS Foil Tape.
At the eves SuperQuilt is sealed to the Cavity wall insulation or wall plate.
Counter battens are placed parallel or perpendicular with the rafters and fixed.
Plasterboard can then be fixed to the counter battens.
SuperQuilt is stapled to the underside of the rafters. At the eves the SuperQuilt is cut and taken down between the joists to the cavity wall insulation or the wall plate. The material needs to be sealed with staples and tape to the joists and the cavity wall insulation or wall plate to create an airtight envelope.
Under Rafter Fixing Details
Where roof head room is essential SuperQuilt can be recessed between the rafters.
1.SuperQuilt is stapled to the underside of the first rafter.
2.SuperQuilt is recessed into the rafter void and fixed by staples or with battens.
3.The material is then fixed to opposed rafter as per instruction 2.
4.SuperQuilt is then wrapped around the rafter and the procedure starts again.
Once all the SuperQuilt is fitted all joints should be taped using aluminised foil tape.
Plasterboard can then be fixed directly to the underside of the rafters below the SuperQuilt.
Between Purlins Fixing Details
SuperQuilt is fixed horizontally or vertically and stapled to the underside of the the rafters.
At the purlins the SuperQuilt is turned up at stapled in place. Battens are fixed through the SuperQuilt into the rafters, at the purlins the battens are fixed into the rafters crushing the SuperQuilt tightly against the purlins.
Plasterboard can then be fixed to the battens.
Recessed and fixed between rafters
SuperQuilt can be fitted between rafters. In situations where head room is crucial SuperQuilt is recessed in to the rafter void to allow plaster-board to be fitted directly to the SuperQuilt on the underside of the rafters.
Behind Purlins Fixing Details
SuperQuilt is fixed horizontally or vertically and stapled to the underside of the the rafters.
At the purlins the SuperQuilt is cut and pushed behind the purlins then taped to the next piece at the opposed side of the purlin.
Battens are fixed through the SuperQuilt into the rafters.
Plasterboard can then be fixed to the battens.
Down lighters Fixing Details
Install the SuperQuilt as per fixing instructions.
There needs to be a 25mm clear cavity between the SuperQuilt and the down lighter.
Locate where the light will fit if there is not a 25mm clear cavity cut a hole in the SuperQuilt, with a radius 25mm larger than the down lighters.
Seal the cut edge of the SuperQuilt with YBS Foil Tape.
Fix the plasterboard and fit the light. We recommend fire hoods are used with all sunken lights.
