How to Fit SuperQuilt onto Solid Walls

This how-to guide will show how to install SuperQuilt on the internal face of solid brick walls.

SuperQuilt is LABC, NHBC, and BBA certified for use in solid brick walls. Our multi-layered insulation material is popular in both refurbishment projects and new builds.

SuperQuilt is proven to save on cost, space, wastage, and installation time compared to rigid PIR insulation such as Kingspan or Celotex.

Install Timber Battens

Start by installing treated timber battens directly onto your solid wall, at spacings of between 400mm and 600mm centres.

Batten thickness will depend on your desired U-value, but 25mm battens are most commonly used.

Staple SuperQuilt

Staple SuperQuilt onto the first set of battens, then roll it out horizontally.

We recommend using 14mm staples when fixing SuperQuilt, available as part of our EcoPro Multifoil Fitting Kit.

Overlaps and Tapes

Ensure all SuperQuilt joints are overlapped by 50mm, and that overlaps are fully taped and sealed using ThermaSeal Foil Joining Tape. Ensure SuperQuilt is also fully taped and sealed around the perimeter.

SuperQuilt can be easily cut using multifoil scissors or a cutting knife, both available in our EcoPro Multifoil Fitting Kit.

Install Counter Battens

Once SuperQuilt is fully installed and covered, install counter battens over it. We recommend fixing these perpendicular to the first set, as this reduces compression on the material. We also recommend creating a frame around any windows and around the perimeter.

Batten thickness will depend on your desired U-value — visit our online U-value calculator to find the recommended depth for your project.

Installing Plasterboard

The plasterboard is then screwed into the battens in the usual manner. When SuperQuilt is installed as the most internal insulation layer, there is no requirement for foil-backed plasterboard, as SuperQuilt works as a high-performing vapour control layer when taped and sealed using ThermaSeal Foil Tape.

Optional insulated plasterboards can be used for extra thermal benefit, depending on the U-value required.
