How To Install a SuperQuilt Curtain

If you are interested in understanding how our customer transformed their workspace with a SuperQuilt curtain, or if you have a similar project, keep reading...

Installing First Run of SuperQuilt

Roll out the SuperQuilt to the desired length and attach it to wooden purlins or rafters using staples or nails at 200mm intervals.

We recommend lipping the SuperQuilt round the top of the purlin and stapling onto the back of the purlin — this allows the purlin to take the weight of the SuperQuilt.

Cutting SuperQuilt

Cut SuperQuilt to the desired length using a sharp pair of multifoil scissors or a sharp blade.

Ensure you have left enough material for the next step.

Installing Wooden Battens / Weights

We recommend using 50mm joists to act as a weight for the bottom of the curtain — this prevents the curtain from moving and gives a rigid finish. Lip the SuperQuilt over the joist and staple onto the top, trimming off any excess material if required.

Installing Second Run of SuperQuilt

Proceed by installing another run of SuperQuilt in the same method as the first.

We recommend overlapping the insulation by at least 50mm to ensure the curtain can be sealed.

Taping and Sealing Joints

After the SuperQuilt has been installed, tape and seal all overlaps using ThermaSeal Foil Joining Tape. This will prevent draughts and cold from entering the usable space and seal the curtain together.

Creating a Door Panel

SuperQuilt can be cut vertically and then horizontally to create an insulated door panel.

We recommend taping over the joints using ThermaSeal Foil Tape and using a velcro hook and loop to open and close the door.

Finished Application

You will now have created an insulated curtain with an opening and closing door. This will help retain heat in the working space while reflecting the cold away. During the summer months, this will also reflect excess heat away, keeping the working space at a usable temperature all year round.
