Fitting Roof Insulation Foil

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.

Fitting roof insulation foil.

When installing foil insulation you must use a quality stapler. Ensure overlaps are fully taped and sealed using thermaseal foil joining tape. Due to the varying nature of the construction of buildings each property may require a slightly different approach when installing insulation on the roof. Also when you overlap the joints be sure to keep it to a 50 mm lap.

After you are done cut to adjust the length and get ready to work the next layer. 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. Remember to apply a decent amount of tension when stapling and to do it at 50 to 100 mm intervals. Ensure all superquilt insulation joints are overlapped by min 50mm.

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. Foil insulation works slightly differently however. Superquilt can be easily cut using multifoil scissors or a cutting knife both available in our multifoil fitting kit.
