Fitting Roof Insulation Foil

Reflective foil insulation installation on a roof is usually done in the ceiling attics or other spaces that separate the roof from the ceiling.

Fitting roof insulation foil.

Ensure all superquilt insulation joints are overlapped by min 50mm. 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. Also when you overlap the joints be sure to keep it to a 50 mm lap. It is easily cut and placed and reflects heat rather than absorbing it.

Foil insulation works slightly differently however. Usually reflective foil is about 25mm thick and gives a very good u value for its relative thickness. Superquilt can be easily cut using multifoil scissors or a cutting knife both available in our multifoil fitting kit. After you are done cut to adjust the length and get ready to work the next layer.

Ensure overlaps are fully taped and sealed using thermaseal foil joining tape. Remember to apply a decent amount of tension when stapling and to do it at 50 to 100 mm intervals. 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. The conservaheat multi foil insulation system has been specially designed for professional installation and designed and manufactured in the uk.
