How To Install EcoTec Shed Insulation Kit

This step-by-step guide will show how to effectively insulate your shed, summerhouse, or garden building using the easiest and most cost-effective method.

EcoTec Insulation is a thin, flexible, dense 4mm bubble membrane. It has true aluminium foil on either side of the bubble material, reflecting 95% of radiant energy.

EcoTec Bubble Insulation is extremely simple to install. It will help retain heat in the shed during winter, while reflecting heat away during summer. This insulation also acts as a high-performing vapour control layer, eliminating condensation.

Staple EcoTec Insulation

Start by rolling out EcoTec Insulation to the desired length — excess material can be cut using the cutting knife provided in the kit. Staple EcoTec Insulation directly onto the vertical studs as a flat, continuous layer, at intervals of 300mm.

Stapling to the stud creates a cavity between the EcoTec Insulation and the timber boards — extra thermal performance is gained when this cavity is created.

Overlapping and Taping EcoTec Insulation

EcoTec Insulation should overlap by 50mm on both horizontal and vertical joints. Ensure all overlaps are fully taped and sealed using ThermaSeal Foil Joining Tape provided in the kit.

When fully taped and sealed, the product also works as a high-performance vapour control layer, eliminating any risk of condensation.

Installing Counter Battens

Install timber battens (minimum 19mm depth) directly over the EcoTec Insulation, so there is a cavity on either side of the material once internally boarded. You can then install your desired internal boarding over the top of the timber — cladding, plywood, etc.
