Foil Insulation Rolls | Foil Insulation Roll

Foil Insulation Rolls are a vital component in modern construction, offering effective solutions for thermal insulation. These products are designed to enhance energy efficiency, reduce heat loss, and improve the overall comfort of buildings. In this category, we explore various types of Foil Insulation Rolls, their practical uses, and guidance for selecting the appropriate product for specific applications.

Types of Foil Insulation Rolls

Thinsulex TLX Series

TLX Silver Multifoil and TLX Gold Multifoil (1.2m x 10m): These rolls are renowned for their superior thermal performance. The Silver variant offers standard insulation, while the Gold variant provides enhanced thermal efficiency and is ideal for more demanding applications.

Alumaflex

Alumaflex 12 M2 Roll: Known for its flexibility and ease of installation, Alumaflex is suitable for various applications, including roofs, walls, and floors.

Superfoil SFBA MP

Superfoil SFBA MP: This roll is a cost-effective solution, providing reliable thermal insulation. It is versatile and can be used in a range of residential and commercial settings.

YBS Series

• Superquilt Multifoil Insulation Roll - All Sizes: Distinguished for its multi-layer design, this roll offers excellent thermal resistance and is adaptable to different spaces.
• Breatherquilt Multifoil Insulation Roll (40mm x 1.2m x 10m): This product integrates a breathable membrane, making it ideal for applications requiring moisture control along with insulation.

Eolis HC

Eolis HC (135mm x 1.5m x 8m): This roll stands out for its thickness and is particularly suited for applications requiring high-level insulation performance. 

Choosing the Right Product

• Thermal Efficiency: For higher thermal efficiency, opt for products like Thinsulex TLX Gold or YBS Superquilt.
• Moisture Control: If moisture control is a priority, YBS Breatherquilt is an excellent choice.
• Flexibility and Ease of Installation: Alumaflex and Superfoil SFBA MP are great for projects where ease of installation is key.
• Budget Considerations: For cost-effective solutions, Superfoil SFBA MP offers a balance between performance and affordability.

Benefits of Foil Insulation Rolls

• Space-saving performance: foil insulation. Achieve lower U-values without stealing valuable headroom.
• Fast installation: Cut with scissors/knife, staple to rafters or studs, then tape—ideal for retrofits.
• All-season comfort: Foil insulation helps retain warmth in winter and reflect solar gain in summer.
• Airtightness boost: When laps and penetrations are fully taped, it helps curb draughts.
• Moisture management options: Choose vapour-resistant or breathable variants to suit your roof/wall build-up.
• Versatility: Suitable for roofs, walls, floors, garden rooms and garages.
• Lightweight & clean: Minimal dust, easy handling, and less site waste compared to bulky materials.

Guidance on the selection of Foil Insulation Roll

• Application first: Roof, wall, floor or outbuilding? Pick a product intended for that use (e.g., breathable quilt for ventilated roof zones; vapour-resistant multifoil where a VCL is required).
• Thermal target: Start from your U-value goal and select thickness/layering accordingly; check declared R-values and test standards.
• Moisture strategy: Decide whether you need breathability (to allow vapour to escape) or a VCL (to restrict vapour). Many multifoils act as a VCL when fully taped, as confirmed in the datasheet.
• Roll size & width: Match roll width to rafter or stud spacing to minimise cuts and joints; longer rolls mean fewer seams and faster installs.
• Certification & compatibility: Look for BBA/UKCA where applicable and ensure compatibility with membranes, PIR boards, plasterboard, and tapes.
• Project constraints: Headroom, services, and sequencing on site may favour slimmer profiles or products that combine breathability with insulation.
