Before & After Insulation…
We also recommend using the ThermaFrost Tint Kit if you are insulating the underside of a glass conservatory roof. The purpose of a tint is to reduce the UV rays from the sun accessing the cavity between the glass and the reflective foil. This also looks more aesthetically pleasing as you will not see the outer layers of the multifoil through the glass.
