How To Insulate Your Walls With EcoQuilt Expert

This handy guide will show you how to easily and effectively insulate your walls with EcoQuilt Expert for year upon year of thermal protection.

EcoQuilt is a high-performing insulation blanket that is very flexible and easy to install. It contains 6 layers of highly reflective foils and wadding that offer great thermal benefits, including a built-in vapour control layer that helps reduce condensation when fully taped and sealed using ThermaSeal Foil Tape.

Install Timber Battens

Start by installing 25mm battens directly onto the solid wall, horizontally or vertically, at 400 to 600mm intervals.

Cut to Desired Length

Roll out EcoQuilt to the desired length before cutting with a cutting knife or multifoil scissors, both available in our Multifoil Fitting Kit.

Stapling Your EcoQuilt

Begin at one end of the wall, hold EcoQuilt up to the right position, and staple into place at 300mm intervals. When installing the next run of EcoQuilt, overlap by a minimum of 50mm.

We recommend using a heavy-duty staple gun and 14mm staples. Make sure EcoQuilt is pulled taut to allow the product to expand and reflect into cavities.

Using ThermaSeal Foil Joining Tape to Seal

Once EcoQuilt is applied, tape and seal all overlaps using ThermaSeal Foil Joining Tape around the perimeter and the overlaps, to prevent condensation and create an airtight barrier.

We recommend 1 roll of ThermaSeal Foil Joining Tape for every 30m² of EcoQuilt.

Install Counter Battens

Now it's time to install your 25mm counter battens — again, horizontally or vertically, at 400 to 600mm intervals, fixed to the initial battens.

We also recommend creating a frame around any windows and around the perimeter.

Installing Plasterboard

Finally, once battens are fixed, appropriate plasterboard can be installed by screwing into your battens. This application would not require foil-backed plasterboard, as EcoQuilt Expert works as a high-performing vapour control layer when fully sealed with ThermaSeal Foil Joining Tape.

Optional insulated plasterboards could be used for extra thermal benefit, if desired.
