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.
What Do I Need to Install Multifoil Insulation?
Proper tools and materials are required to install Multifoil Insulation for a hassle-free process. Here at Ecohome Insulation, we provide many of the items within our DIY Insulations Kits and Our Trade Pallet Deals

Thermaseal Foil Joining Tape

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.
