Fitting Roof Insulation Foil

Due to the varying nature of the construction of buildings each property may require a slightly different approach when installing insulation on the roof.

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. Also when you overlap the joints be sure to keep it to a 50 mm lap. Usually reflective foil is about 25mm thick and gives a very good u value for its relative thickness.

Ensure all superquilt insulation joints are overlapped by min 50mm. After you are done cut to adjust the length and get ready to work the next layer. Reflective foil insulation is made from layers of aluminium foil surrounding a wadding or layer of wool material. The conservaheat multi foil insulation system has been specially designed for professional installation and designed and manufactured in the uk.

When installing foil insulation you must use a quality stapler. 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. Reflective foil insulation installation on a roof is usually done in the ceiling attics or other spaces that separate the roof from the ceiling. Remember to apply a decent amount of tension when stapling and to do it at 50 to 100 mm intervals.
