Things You’ll Need to Install Multifoil Insulation

Multifoil Insulation is a versatile and effective method of insulating buildings, providing a barrier against heat transfer and reducing energy consumption. It consists of layers of reflective foil, typically aluminium, with layers of wadding, foam, or a bubble membrane. This combination creates a barrier that reflects radiant heat, keeping the indoor environment cooler in summer and warmer in winter.

Thermaseal Foil Joining Tape

Genuine True Aluminium Thermaseal Foil Joining Tape is designed to be used with all Multifoil Insulation materials. When used alongside YBS SuperQuilt, EcoQuilt Expert, and AirTec Double it can create a vapour control barrier. Foil Tape is supplied in one size of 75mm x 50m. The 75mm width is the recommended width designed to seal overlaps and the edges when fitting Multifoil Insulation.

FastFix Multifoil Insulation Screws

Our FastFix Multifoil Insulation Screws are compatible with our Multifoil Insulation product range. Thanks to the sawtooth design, they have been specifically designed for this purpose, which prevents the wooden battens from splitting.

Heavy Duty Staple Gun Kit

A good quality Heavy Duty Staple Gun can speed up the installation process massively. Included with your Staple Gun you’ll receive 5,000 14mm Staples which will be able to pierce all types of multifoil insulation and attach it to the rafters, joists as well as floorboards beneath.

Multifoil Insulation Scissors

Thicker insulation like YBS SuperQuilt which is made from True Aluminium Foil and wadding can be a little more tricky to cut through and dull a pair of scissors. We have created the Multifoil Insulation Scissors which are heavy duty and will also cut through all types of insulation with ease.

FastFix Conservatory Screws

The FastFix Conservatory Screws have been designed for screwing the first 25mm batten into the uPVC frame, and halfway into the aluminum frame. By adding a battens this will ensure the maximum performance from the Multifoil Insulation due to the air gap. These screws are already included in the Conservatory Roof Insulation Kit.

Thermaseal Double Sided Tape

This Thermaseal double Sided Tape is a multi-purpose ancillary item, it’s often used alongside YBS BreatherQuilt in pitched roof applications. It’s also commonly used with our EcoTec Floor-Foam Insulation Kit to attach the insulation to concrete floors.

Thermaseal Weatherproof Tape

Our Weatherproof Tape has been specifically designed for installing YBS BreatherQuilt. This tape is 100% weatherproof which makes it perfect for sealing any vertical butt-joints between the BreatherQuilt on a pitched roof.

YBS Saddle Clips

YBS Saddle clips have been designed to recess Multifoil Insulation products, they provide you with an air cavity that is required on both sides of the insulation to get the optimum performance out of the insulation. Saddle clips are available in a 54mm depth as well as a 27mm depth depending on the insulation being fitted and the air cavity required.
